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

00:00:05.660 --> 00:00:07.524
I have food. I have water prepared.

00:00:07.524 --> 00:00:10.316
I have backup generators. I have medicine stockpiled.

00:00:10.316 --> 00:00:14.732
I have everything that I need to be
self-sufficient for a little while anyway.

00:00:14.732 --> 00:00:17.637
I think probably the best thing I have going for me

00:00:17.637 --> 00:00:19.772
is a great community, a great neighborhood around us.

00:00:19.772 --> 00:00:21.357
We all know each other.

00:00:21.357 --> 00:00:24.076
We all know each other's needs and
we'll all be there to help each other.

00:00:24.076 --> 00:00:26.549
So the biggest thing I can think
of is get to know your neighbors.

00:00:26.549 --> 00:00:30.237
Get to know your customers if you're a
business owner in the community around you.

00:00:30.237 --> 00:00:33.316
You don't want to be an island
of one in that type of situation.

00:00:33.316 --> 00:00:35.877
You're gonna need some type of support system.

00:00:35.877 --> 00:00:40.628
Rogers: Community organization
like community crime watch situations.

00:00:40.628 --> 00:00:42.725
If you have people in the neighborhood always looking out,

00:00:42.725 --> 00:00:44.756
seeing what's going on in the neighborhood

00:00:44.756 --> 00:00:47.556
and they contact the authorities, crime's gonna go down.

00:00:47.556 --> 00:00:50.293
And that's what you need with emergency preparedness.

00:00:50.293 --> 00:00:53.541
People just need to get to know people

00:00:53.541 --> 00:00:58.772
and do the watch group thing and
you know, communicate to each other.

00:00:58.772 --> 00:01:06.900
Bauer: I live in a newer community and
we have HOA that works with social media.

00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:10.676
Social media has helped out a lot as far as being able to

00:01:10.676 --> 00:01:15.188
communicate between neighbors streets over.

00:01:15.188 --> 00:01:19.317
It actually works great because if somebody has a problem,

00:01:19.317 --> 00:01:22.892
some neighbor a few streets down may have the solution for it,

00:01:22.892 --> 00:01:25.021
and you may not know them.
