Getting
to know your neighbors and establishing relationships with them can be
vital during a crisis situation. A solid community dynamic can
solidify and make a neighborhood safer and more prepared in case of an
emergency. An inventory of neighbors’ expertise within the
community is a valuable resource in establishing what your community
could handle as well as what types of equipment are accessible and
available for the community to utilize in an emergency situation.
The City of Plano
offers volunteer programs that will assist your community in preparing
for emergencies and increasing community knowledge in how to respond
after a disaster happens. The programs offered by Plano also
inform citizens how to aid and assist fire, police, and other agencies
during crisis and tragedies.
