myn  How to Organize a MYN Team

 

1.  Contact your local emergency management office for training information, presentation options, and materials (MYN Neighbor Handout, Discussion Guide, CD and DVD).

2.  Review materials, CD and DVD.

3.  Choose a meeting date.

4.  Determine your neighborhood boundaries (sample map). We recommend 15-20 households because of the importance of the first hour of a disaster response.

5.  Personally invite your neighbors to attend your neighborhood meeting.

6.  Conduct the meeting using the simple-to-follow Discussion Guide. Start and end your meeting on time allowing for a maximum time of 90 minutes.

7.  After the meeting, fill out the MYN Postcard and send it to your local emergency management office. This will allow us to track the number of teams state-wide and evaluate the program. The information needed includes: 

          Host Name
          Host Address
          Date of Meeting
          Number of Households Participating
