SUPPORT MATERIALS
We have gathered important links to documents that we suggest are valuable resources to assist with your emergency planning and preparation. They will also help you with starting Meet Your Neighbors (MYN) in your neighborhood.
What is MYN? An overview of MYN – why have it and why it’s important.
MYN Booklet: click to download. Booklet provides info on:
- Preparedness planning, actions, tips, and resources
- Preparing together in your neighborhood – sharing skills and resources
- Steps to follow immediately after an emergency
- FAQs on getting MYN started in your neighborhood
- Preparedness tips & resources to keep you and loved ones safe
How to Start a MYN Neighborhood – this is an outline intended to help you set up and host the initial MYN neighborhood meeting. Use what works for you and your neighborhood to get started.
Neighbor Contacts Form – Each household completes one of these forms. It contains personal info such as name, phone, special skills, special needs, pet info and emergency contacts. It is shared within the neighborhood only. MYN does not collect personal info.
Neighbor Contacts Summary – (attach as backup to your map). This is a summary of house numbers and each resident’s name, phone, pets, and special needs.
Buddy Form – share your information with a few selected friends or neighbors so they know how to access you and your home in an emergency.
Leader Form – Neighborhood Leader Form – neighborhood leaders are to complete and return the Leader Form to MYN <MYN@OakmontVillage.com> or put in the MYN folder in the OVA office. It tells us the house numbers of each house included in your zone.
