Smith: So my own family, I have steps in place.

00:00:10.918 --> 00:00:12.798
I have food. I have water prepared.

00:00:12.798 --> 00:00:15.558
I have backup generators. I have medicine stockpiled.

00:00:15.558 --> 00:00:20.046
I have everything that I need to be
self-sufficient for a little while anyway.

00:00:20.046 --> 00:00:22.821
I think probably the best thing I have going for me

00:00:22.821 --> 00:00:25.045
is a great community, a great neighborhood around us.

00:00:25.045 --> 00:00:26.341
We all know each other.

00:00:26.341 --> 00:00:29.342
We all know each other's needs and
we'll all be there to help each other.

00:00:29.342 --> 00:00:31.902
So the biggest thing I can think
of is get to know your neighbors.

00:00:31.902 --> 00:00:35.541
Get to know your customers if you're a
business owner in the community around you.

00:00:35.541 --> 00:00:38.662
You don't want to be an island
of one in that type of situation.

00:00:38.662 --> 00:00:41.173
You're gonna need some type of support system.

00:00:41.173 --> 00:00:45.878
Rogers: Community organization
like community crime watch situations.

00:00:45.878 --> 00:00:48.109
If you have people in the neighborhood always looking out,

00:00:48.109 --> 00:00:49.813
seeing what's going on in the neighborhood

00:00:49.813 --> 00:00:52.829
and they contact the authorities, crime's gonna go down.

00:00:52.829 --> 00:00:55.509
And that's what you need with emergency preparedness.

00:00:55.509 --> 00:00:59.101
People just need to get to know people

00:00:59.101 --> 00:01:04.046
and do the watch group thing and
you know, communicate to each other.

00:01:04.046 --> 00:01:12.125
Bauer: I live in a newer community and
we have HOA that works with social media.

00:01:12.125 --> 00:01:15.926
Social media has helped out a lot as far as being able to

00:01:15.926 --> 00:01:20.421
communicate between neighbors streets over.

00:01:20.421 --> 00:01:24.070
It actually works great because if somebody has a problem,

00:01:24.070 --> 00:01:28.254
some neighbor a few streets down may have the solution for it,

00:01:28.254 --> 00:01:31.068
and you may not know them.
