Welcome to CARD's Online Guide for

AGENCY EMERGENCY PLANNING

J. Neighborhood Resources

Make sure you know the local resources - they may be your only source

  Your Name: Your Agency:
1. If you do not have a back-up generator, in an extended power outage, where can you rent or borrow a generator? Create a written agreement with this supplier.

2. If the phones at your agency are not working, where are the nearest pay phones?

3. Where is the nearest public health clinic?

4. Where is the nearest place to go for help if phones are not working?

5. Where is the nearest fire station and do they know about you?

6. Where is the nearest police station and do they know about you?

Make sure preparedness resources in your neighborhood are clear. Post a large, clear map of your neighborhood. Note these potentially valuable resources -- which will you mark on your map?
