Get Involved



Because our program is based on NEIGHBOR HELPING NEIGHBOR, you are invited to participate in numerous ways.
-
Learn how to prepare and protect your family in a major earthquake, wildfire or a public safety power shutoff
-
Put up your OK or HELP sign during the NRG drills on the days we change our clock
-
Volunteer to join one of the teams that work to keep Mariner Cove ready​
​BE A BLOCK CAPTAIN
-
This role is shared among 2-3 neighbors in each cluster of twenty homes.
-
Before an earthquake, the Block Captains visit the residents in their cluster and share information to educate them for disaster preparedness and response.
-
During the two drills, the Block Captains work one hour to practice using the two-way radio and to carry out responses to injuries and hazards.
-
During an earthquake, the Block Captain takes care of their family first and then monitors the cluster to report injuries and hazards to the Command Team via two-way radio.
JOIN THE COMMAND TEAM
-
These are the folks who report to the disaster trailer behind Cove School during the drill or in a major earthquake.
-
They receive the radio reports from the Block Captains and help to solve the problems
BE A MEDICAL VOLUNTEER
-
The Medical Team reports to the trailer in drills and earthquakes and provides advice to solve medical problems.
-
The Field Medical Team is composed of nurses and doctors who would report to their places of work in a disaster BUT if they cannot travel, these folks work in Mariner Cove to help neighbors with injuries
JOIN THE SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM
-
This team has training in CERT (Community Emergency Response Team).
-
Mariner Cove needs to build this team. We need folks to take the twenty hour class to become certified.
-
You would work on a team of 3-4 fellow CERT neighbors to provide help.
