Just a few days after the August 21, 2014 Westside Village Preparedness Fair, a major quake hit Northern California, which further underscores the urgency of preparedness.  When disaster strikes, our first responders such as police, firefighters, and ambulances will be overwhelmed and we’ll need to rely on ourselves and our neighbors.

  
The Westside Village Homeowners Association Board invites you to participate
in the next phase of organizing a disaster readiness plan for our community with 5 simple steps:

1.     DEFINE YOUR AREA. 

Identify a manageable area—your apartment building, your block, or a few small surrounding streets—that you can organize with relative ease.

2.     RECRUIT LEADERS. 

Develop a team of leaders who can help build the plan and carry out emergency support activities when the time comes. 

3.     SCOUT YOUR AREA. 

Get to know the lay of the land: what resources you have, what the landscape is, and disasters or other emergencies common to your area.

4.     BUILD YOUR TEAM. 

Find out who lives in your area, how they can help in a disaster, and who may need extra help.

5.     PLAN YOUR APPROACH. 

Create a plan that outlines what your neighborhood will do before, during, and after a disaster.   

We must act NOW to be ready when the Big One strikes here!
