VISION
The Cayuga Neighborhood is prepared to respond to any emergency with information on personal preparedness and better neighborhood resiliency. Each household is part of a community network that promotes personal preparedness for each family. This ensures all residences are familiar with a neighborhood plan that ties into the City’s plan, and works collaboratively with the City’s Public Safety Agencies and Social Services. All participants are trained on basic first aid and understand how to activate a Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) to support the City’s response, generally, and the neighborhood’s needs, specifically.
