When a major earthquake occurs in our city, emergency responders warn that we’ll be on our own for three to seven days. Recent studies have found that personal ties among community members improve survival during a disaster and recovery afterward.

We invite you to organize a Neighborhood Network in your area. For information on what to do in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, click here.
