BLOCK CAPTAIN INSTRUCTIONS
We practice annually. All blocks should meet in person one night a year.

Households gather outside at their Block Captain’s residence to chat, maybe share some cookies or have a potluck, and to do a training item, like —

learning about the city's primary alert system called "Everbridge"
checking to be sure 72-hour kits are up-to-date
becoming familiar with the city's Individualized Protection Plan
understanding why first responders won't be available to respond to individuals in a mass-disaster in the way they've become accustomed

Block Captains then communicate to the city Emergency Operations Center how many people attended through a system of runners. 

Having block captains in place is especially vital in a large-scale emergency when normal technologies might be down. 

Lindon would use this system help city leaders formulate a big picture for the most effective response. It also helps neighborhoods recognize who in their vicinity might need immediate assistance that only a neighbor could quickly provide. 

Block Captains should introduce the drill and exchange phone numbers by end of August at the latest.
