Awareness saves lives. 
One of the best ways to enlighten you neighbors about Emergency Preparedness is to host short lectures about ways to mitigate the effects of a possible emergency. Condominium community buildings, 4-H clubhouses, and public library meeting rooms are some great places to hold such meetings, or you could simply invite a few neighbors to your home for coffee and an informal talk. Attendees will be especially interested if the talk includes example objects and the subject matter relates to the current season, so to keep Emergency Preparedness in the forefront of their minds, it is a good idea to give several targeted lectures and educational demonstrations throughout the year.
