TRENO Disaster Readiness Preparation

When a major disaster or other catastrophic event occurs, survival and recovery7 will depend upon individual preparedness and neighbors helping one another.

Members of TRENO (Tahquitz River Estates Neighborhood Organization) are developing a neighborhood emergency communication and response plan that can be put into action if a major disaster or health threat occurs.

According to emergency responders, it will take 72 hours or more before medical or other vital services are restored. 72 hours is a long time, if we are not prepared with life sustaining supplies, lif3e saving training and a plan that brings neighbors together to help one another.

What Can TRENO do?

• Develop, communicate and update a neighborhood emergency response plan that anticipates communication, safety, shelter, medical and food needs.
• Survey residents and develop a neighborhood "map" to identify:

• Residents with special skills, training or equipment, who are willing to help out if an emergency occurs;
• Residents who may need greater assistance because of their age or health, or other special needs;

• Provide residents with emergency preparedness information;
• Inform residents of and coordinate emergency training opportunities.

What Can You Do?

• Purchase and maintain emergency supplies that will sustain you, your family and pets for 72 hours or more;
• Become trained in First Aid and CPR
• Enroll in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training course offered by the Palm Springs Fire Department;
• Complete the Household Emergency Information form and return it to TRENO
   
• Volunteer to help:

• Help develop our neighborhood Readiness Plan and Map
• Serve on a Disaster Response Team
