Resource-Mapping and Neighborhood Strategy for Community Self-Reliance & EP

This event is NOT in Market Square. EventBrite doesn’t recognize THE PEOPLE’S LOT as a location. It’s across from Market Square, on East Church Lane, just a few doors past Uncle Bobbie’s. It’s an outdoor lot with colorful chair and lots of murals.

We will use GREAT’s Organizer’s Guide for Emergency Preparedness & Community Self-Reliance, switching between presenting content from the Guide to small group / individual brainstorm time. The main topics include:

* Building connections & resource-mapping

* What to do in an immediate emergency situation

* Longer-term resiliency

* There will also be time for an open forum for sharing resources/tips, and identifying next steps.

More specifically we will talk about things like:

* How to connect and build trust with neighbors

* How to create a phone tree

* How to assess the needs and resources of your neighbors

* How to develop a neighborhood action plan for emergencies
