In conjunction with this year’s annual Shakeout, this free session is being offered to Cortes Island community members so that you are better able to care for your family members, friends and loved ones in the event of a catastrophic earthquake.

Date: Thursday October 16th
Time: 5:00pm – 7:00pm
Location: Mansons Hall

Trained personnel will provide guidance on incorporating radio communications into the preparation and operation of a Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program (NEPP). Registration is not required.

NEPP’s primary FUNCTION is PREPAREDNESS. NEPP is not first responders, but a community who agree to work together as neighbours to collectively increase our preparedness and resilience to disasters.

NEPP’s focus is to know the neighbourhood, to know the potential local hazards, and to know the residents that might need additional assistance in the event of a disaster.
