PRE-Neighborhood Leads

Neighborhood Lead Role Description

• The Fire Department relies on NLs for information about our neighborhood’s needs during a natural disaster (fire, floods, earthquake). NLs should know their neighbors and keep their neighbors up to date on any emergency event. They are the main points of contact before, during and after any emergency events that might happen.

• Ideally, we have an NL + buddy in your neighborhood. For example, one may have a radio, and another may have first aid skills or have had prior training as a firefighter. Some will have deep local knowledge from long-time residence in PRE. Not everyone needs to know how to operate a radio, but there will be at least one person in a neighborhood who can.

• All PRE NLs report to the PRE-Area-Coordinator (AC) who is responsible for central communications, ensuring response readiness from the team, coordinating any training opportunities, and helping with PRE’s overall emergency response. The AC reports to the head of the Point Reyes Disaster Council.

• The NLs, in coordination with the AC, communicate as needed with the Fire Department and emergency services.
