ron says... Please pay attention to the size the author mentions is the size of a normal neighborhood... Your neighborhood is 180 homes and 265 people! The LVH emergency Response team is no bigger than 10 people. They need help. attend a meeting or two find out how you can help.

Siuslaw News Online: "When a disaster strikes, the immediate response is panic. This is magnified by the fact that a single disaster causes many individual emergencies at one time.

Unfortunately, the police or fire department may not be able to respond to your call for help in a timely manner. Professional emergency response to your situation may be delayed for hours, even days. Of necessity you and your neighbors become the first responders to your emergencies. Preparing your neighborhood is vital.

Neighbors that are prepared are more effective in their response to a disaster and are able to be self-sufficient in the first 72 hours after a disaster."
