Join us in preparing every needful thing.
Our Mission
We are passionate about being ready…for whatever may come our way. Neighbors helping neighbors, that’s what we’re all about. We strive to build unity among our neighbors by loving and taking care of one other. In a disaster situation we may need to rely on the strength of our community to survive.
“The 2020 fire in our hills was an awakening…NOW is the time to be ready.”

It’s true, one of the best things about living here is the wonderful neighbors. Thank you to our original Zone Captains who jumped right in and helped save the day during the June 2020 fire.
