Hi Neighbor Events

 Eva and Jerry Silverman Host a Hi Neighbor Event
A very special thanks to Eva and Jerry Silverman who last weekend hosted an event for their neighbors, encouraging their participation in the city's Hi Neighbor initiative and becoming more prepared as a community for emergencies. They had 23 people attend their get together, representing 10 homes along their street. The neighbors had an opportunity to meet one another and are looking forward to another event in the coming months.
To host an event of your own, stop by the CERT & RACES office for free handouts on Hi Neighbor, CERT and Disaster Preparedness. Pick a time and location (it can be at a nearby park if you don't want to host at your home) and send out invitations. Encourage neighbors to sign up for Nextdoor.gov to make sending future invites more cost effective through the internet.
