Assisting Our Neighbors
Green Valley Stake has adopted a simple and effective way to introduce emergency preparation and response to our neighbors. It is called Green Valley Neighbors Helping Neighbors and utilizes elements of the Power of Three program, encouraging neighbors to prepare based upon real needs during the first three minutes, hours, days and months of an emergency event.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors includes a series of 3 minute videos that may be used in neighborhood meetings. Hosted by Peter Vidmar, the videos focus on each of the five steps.
Becoming Involved in Community Programs
There are many opportunities for members to become involved in emergency response groups and initiatives in the County. CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) provides excellent hands-on training .
In addition to CERT, ham radio operators may volunteer to become involved with groups such as Dixie Armature Radio Club. The American Red Cross is constantly looking for volunteers to assist with disaster response, preparedness education, health and safety training.
