Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program (NEPP)

Let's Build Resilient Communities

Comox Valley Emergency Management offers a Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program (NEPP) and Guide. This program and guide will provide important tools and guidance to ensure Comox Valley communities are prepared in case of an emergency.

Most initial disaster relief is provided not by formal emergency and relief organizations, but by residents of the impact area and surrounding communities.

NEPP was identified as a key initiative by the CVRD Board of Directors to help ensure Comox Valley communities are able to prepare in case of an emergency. While personal and household preparedness is important, NEPP builds resilience at the community level. By working together with your immediate neighborhood, you will not be alone in times of need.

Individuals and neighbourhoods need to be prepared to be self-sufficient for a week or more following a major disaster.
