To Prepare For Emergencies

Citizens Organized to Prepare for Emergencies (COPE) is a vital community initiative aimed at preparing neighborhoods for disasters like earthquakes, wildfires, and flooding. Join your neighbors to enhance preparedness by organizing block parties, identifying vulnerable households, and creating emergency plans together. Learn about essential items for disaster kits, and utilize COPE resources to maintain up-to-date neighborhood information. Together, we can ensure that when disaster strikes, our families, friends, and community are ready to respond and recover effectively.
