Jessica Triangle Work Party – 10/5

Paula makes sure the Jessica Triangle gets the love it deserves

This Saturday, November 5, from 9am – 11am is the semi-annual Jessica Triangle garden clean up and fundraising.

The Triangle was created and is maintained by neighbors in this area. Please come out to trim some dead branches (no weeds this time of year) and dig some trenches in case we get rain this year. (You can always cross your fingers about the latter.)

If you can’t join us for 30 minutes between 9-11am, please donate $10 at mtwashingtonjessica.org. Walk by and drive by cash donations accepted as well. Thanks so much!

CERT Community Meeting – Map Your Neighborhood 2/9

Battalion 2 Meeting FlyerDisaster Preparedness Community Meeting on Tuesday, Feb 9th,  from 7pm – 8:30pm
Fire Station 50 – 3036 Fletcher Dr. LA (in Glassell Park)

FREE and open to everyone, CERT trained or non-CERT trained

Register at Eventbrite

During the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Community Meeting we’ll discuss Map Your Neighborhood (MYN).

MYN is a step-by-step process designed to help neighborhoods prepare for disasters and to know what to do immediately following one. Neighbors learn to work together as a team to evaluate their neighborhood following a disaster and to take action to mitigate risks that could require a 911 call if left unchecked. This program embraces all neighbors, CERT and non-CERT, and fits nicely into the 5 Steps.la Program.

CERT Battalion 2 has embraced the Map Your Neighborhood paradigm based in part on the success of the program in the Mt. Washington Jessica Neighborhood. Come to the meeting and see how your immediate neighbors have influenced the larger plans of LA preparedness.

There are already six MYN Block Teams in the battalion and we plan on many more.

If you want more out of your CERT experience join us and find out how.
Afterwards, ask questions about disaster preparedness and talk to other community members about emergency plans in our neighborhood.
