Know Your Zone
The communities most resilient to a disaster are those in which neighbors know each other and have prepared together. Neighbors will be the first responders for each other after a major event since the fire department will only have capacity to work with life-threatening emergencies.
In order to organize a coordinated plan on Anderson Island, we have divided the island into 8 zones. Each zone is divided into 5-10 neighborhoods and each neighborhood has a Neighborhood Coordinator.
In the event of a disaster, our Neighborhood Coordinators will make sure the status of each neighbor is assessed and a neighborhood status report will be given to their Zone Leader. The Zone Leaders, in turn, will pass on information from their entire zone to the AI Fire Station, our emergency operation center (EOC) and coordinate the needs of their Neighborhood Coordinators.
All Neighborhood Coordinators and Zone Leaders are being trained to communicate via radio if phones are down.
