 Volunteer TEAM MEMBERS

The committee is seeking volunteer TEAM MEMBERS to provide needed neighbor-to-neighbor assistance in the event of an emergency. Following a disaster, traditional 9-1-1 and First Responder capabilities such as fire, police, medics, and utility personnel will be overwhelmed and unable to immediately assist individuals. Preparing the Marineland community is vital because neighbors will likely be the first ones to offer assistance.

Team Members will be asked to learn the “9 Steps to Take Immediately Following Disaster” to assist in securing and protecting the community. It is difficult to think clearly following a disaster and these steps will help you quickly and safely take actions that can minimize damage and better protect lives. Team Members will work together to evaluate the neighborhood during the first hour following a disaster and take the necessary actions. For more information read the 9 Steps. document and review 9 STEPS TO TAKE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING DISASTER section below.

 9 STEPS TO TAKE IMMEDIATELY AFTER A DISASTER (Map Your Neighborhood)

The Marineland 9 STEPS TO TAKE IMMEDIATELY AFTER A DISASTER plan is based on the Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) program. The reality is that most neighborhoods will be on their own for the first hours following disaster, maybe for as long as three days or even longer! If people have been hurt, if there is a fire, if property has been damaged, the real first responders will be you and your neighbors. Fire, police, medical, and 9-1-1 personnel will be overwhelmed dealing with immediate life-threatening demands.
