To help our neighborhood and city better respond to large-scale emergencies the City of Palo Alto has an Emergency Services Volunteer program.  Our first responders are wonderful, but there aren’t enough of them to report and prioritize the hundred of events that will happen in a large-scale emergency.  Think fire, floods and earthquakes.

In College Terrace, we’d like at least one Block Preparedness Coordinator (BPC) volunteer per block to serve as a point of contact.

No skills necessary, other than a willingness to be our eyes and ears in an emergency. Palo Alto’s Emergency Services Volunteer (ESVs) efforts include:
        BPC – Block preparedness coordinator (eyes and ears)
        NPC – Neighborhood preparedness coordinator (Malcolm Slaney for College Terrace)
        CERT – Community emergency response teams (some first aid and radio resources)
        EOC – Palo Alto Emergency Operations Center (currently in Cubberly)
