Our educational meetings cover topics such as building a go kit, storing water and supplies, constructing a simple sanitation system, establishing family emergency plans, and more. Our programs are free; everyone is welcome to attend our events.

Strength in Numbers
|
Professional first responders will not be able to help individuals in such a large natural disaster for an extended period. We can create a community where neighbors have the tools and knowledge and a plan to make sure everyone has the best possible chance of surviving. Our predictable future, if we do nothing? We could lose it all—our lives, homes, and neighbors. We need to be prepared and connected with each other—so that we can be resilient in the face of any disaster.
