In our Map Your Neighborhood program, blocks often lack the medical or nursing skills needed during disasters when first responders are unavailable. Learning these skills is a vital opportunity to help your community, especially during the critical first hour after an earthquake when stabilizing a situation can prevent serious escalation.

2026 MWJN DISASTER DRILL – 10/18/26

Our yearly Disaster Drill will be held on Sunday October 18, We have conducted Map Your Neighborhood training in more than 25 MYN Blocks to promote “neighbor helping neighbor” response in a widespread disaster.

In the 10/18/26 training/practice Drill, we’d like people in each MYN Block to “check on their loved ones” in their house, then gather in their Block to check on their neighbors, then use 2-way radios to coordinate response resources with other Blocks. We will plant “incident” cards around the neighborhood for search teams to find and discuss an appropriate response to.

After the Block activities conclude, we invite people to gather at Five Points to review lessons learned, have refreshments, and meet neighbors.

Watch for more information here and from your Block leaders!
