All County Picnic – August 18th 11AM – 4PM at the JEFFERSON COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS!!! (new location)

Visit the ACP website for complete picnic information.

Scroll down to see what NPREP will be featuring at their Organized Neighborhoods/Best Practices booth from 11 to 2.

Join us at the 11:30 workshop to learn how we are shifting YOYO (You’re On Your Own) to WOOOT (We’re On Our Own Together)!

Stick around until 2:00PM to hear a Community Briefing from official agencies providing an update after a simulated major regional disaster.  Followed by a Q&A session that will surely broaden your awareness of who is doing what in the immediate aftermath of such an event.

Individual/Family Preparedness

To help you, your family and those who depend upon you to prepare for an emergency or disaster, our NPREP team offers locally relevant informational flyers and reference materials on subjects such as Food, Water, Grab&Go Bags, Sanitation and much more.

Neighborhood Preparedness

Visit the booth to learn about the locally developed Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN) program that replaces the Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) program.  Find out if your neighborhood is already preparing and, if not, we can provide a NHN materials and training to help you get there.

Neighborhood Emergency Hubs

At their core, Emergency Hubs are a simple concept – places for people to gather after a catastrophic disaster to safely share information and resources. Emergency Hubs can be added to existing NHN organized neighborhoods or be designed as a standalone pop-up in areas yet to be organized.  NPREP will be rolling out Emergency Hub training in the near future.

Jefferson County Preparedness

The NPREP team and their Neighborhood Leads are invited to participate in the Jefferson County Regional Emergency Preparedness Network (JPREP).  JPREP is a network of representatives from county entities, emergency responders and community volunteers that work together to prepare for emergency or disaster. Quarterly JPREP meetings, exercises and other efforts are coordinated to communicate, plan and practice readiness in the case of different types of emergencies.

Community Preparedness

There are many other opportunities available for you to serve in our community such as forming a boat fleet, preparing your school or businesses, developing distribution centers, working within faith-based organizations and many more. Most importantly, we invite you to join our NPREP team.

While at the picnic, we encourage you to use your ACP Passport to visit all the agencies and community-based groups active in emergency preparedness and response.

If you have any questions or need more information about any of the above topics, please send an email to NPREP@L2020.org.
