C.O.P.E. Program Introduction - Our Community Outreach Prevention Effort program is offered to assist local neigbhors organize themselves to be better prepared to help each other and coordinate their efforts with local agencies. We also intended that this orgnizing effort would simply strengthen the fabric of our communities and increase the connections and opportunies to help each other, whether to borrow a tool, assist during a period of confinement, check in when there is unexpected activity at a home, or assist following wind storm, earthquake, or pandemic. A couple more potluck meals in the neighborhood is our goal, but we hope you are ready, just in case.
Primary Resources to help you:
1. Know where to get information (Muni of Anchorage)
2. Organize your neighbors
3. Be ready to "Go"
4. Prepare your home to reduce wildfire risks.
