Community Emergency Hub
What is this?
Your Community Emergency Hub (CEH) are volunteers who are organizing in advance for when an emergency/disaster happens.
Why not Map Your Neighborhood (MYN)?
This is similar and is a start in the right direction. CEH just broadens the concept and includes a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) approach as well.

Why should I and my neighborhood do this?
By preparing ahead of time, not only are you prepared, so are your neighbors. In a disaster, both the typical First Responders, the fire and police departments, are in the same situation everyone is in. Neighbors are most often First Responders and by being prepared ahead of time, you and your neighbors will be able to do the most good. Working together as a team provides safety, and a better outcome for everyone involved.
