Burlingame Neighborhoods May Receive Free Emergency Supplies
The Burlingame City Council has approved funding for
20 emergency caches to be distributed to neighborhoods that participate in drills and other neighborhood activities. The caches, valued at $550, are for use in neighborhoods in the event of an emergency. They are filled with emergency supplies that include first aid essentials, tools that enable volunteers to protect themselves (hard hats, safety goggles, dust masks, gloves, etc.); and materials needed to set up an emergency base and equip teams of volunteers to aid victims and assess damage after a disaster.
The
Burlingame Neighborhood Network will be distributing these caches to neighborhoods that have a track record of engagement with emergency preparedness activities and training, including Citywide Emergency Drills. The caches will allow neighbors to help one another in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, without having to scramble for suppliers. Emergency responders routinely advise that residents will be on their own for as long as a week after a major catastrophe, while they are taking care of critical emergencies.
Burlingame residents who would like a cache for their neighborhood can request an application form by sending an email to
[email protected].
Applications are due August 30.
