Emergency Preparedness
Overview for Neighborhood Representatives
Fires can happen anywhere and sometimes without any warning. If you live in a wildfire-hazard area, make sure you are signed up for local emergency alerts, maintain a non-combustible perimeter around your home, and know your area’s evacuation warning levels. Home fires are also dangerous and are usually preventable. Teach your family where the fire extinguisher(s) are located in and around your home and how to use them safely.

Fires can occur without warning. Learn where the nearest fire extinguisher is and how to use it safely. Every member of the household should know what to do when a smoke detector sounds an alert. Manage flammable items with care and eliminate as many as possible at home.

e 2022April 2022
Due to Covid and resulting inabilities to have in-person HOA Emergency Preparedness meetings, our get togethers for meetings or trainings obviously did not happen in the past 2 years.
The City of Bellingham Fire Department has an Emergency Management Office. They will be putting out printed/online resources monthly beginning April or May and so keep your eyes peeled. Perhaps by the end of summer 2022, we can organize community needs around Emergency Preparedness for our community. Thanks, Barbara Sardarov and John LaSpina, Community Blockwatch for Reserve at Cordata HOA.
The monthly preparedness topic for April is your grab-and-go kit.
A grab-and-go kit includes just the essentials for two to three days and is portable enough to enable rapid evacuation in an emergency. A grab-and-go kit does not replace 2 weeks ready supplies but should be refreshed annually in the same manner as the larger stock of supplies.
