Risk Watch Safe Community Program Risk Watch Safe Community program was created with the goal of reaching more kids with the Risk Watch program’s life-saving messages. By making Risk Watch a community initiative, it opens the door to work with many different organizations and reach children through ways other than the classroom. The program also encourages individuals and community groups to participate in keeping kids safe.
After a disaster, residents may need to be self-sufficient for up to 72 hours without additional resources. Neighborhood-based CERT teams provide the training and equipment to help you bridge that gap.
