The Griffin Neighborhood Association, in conjunction with the Griffin Fire Department, Griffin School District, Thurston County, The American Red Cross and other organizations has undertaken a project to assist those living and working in this area to prepare for emergencies.

Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Survey

A first step is to complete and return the Griffin Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Survey for your family. This survey will help the GNA to identify folks with special skills and equipment who may be willing to help in event of an emergency. The survey will also help to identify those with special needs.

Click here to download your copy of the Griffin Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Survey. Print out a copy for you and copies for your neighbors. Mail or fax your completed survey to the Griffin Neighborhood Association (click here for our address and fax number).

Emergency Preparedness Information

Click here to download or order a copy of the Disaster Preparedness Handbook, distributed by the Washington State Department of Health.

Also recommended is the "Family Emergency Preparedness Plan" booklet. Although printed nearly 10 years ago, this contains a series of checklists useful in your emergency planning.

The Washington Military Department Emergency Management Division web site also features a variety of topical brochures which may be of interest to you.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency offers a selection of Preparedness Guides and selected links on their web site.

The American Red Cross also provides a wealth of online information regarding emergency preparedness.

U.S. Department of Health & Human Services web site for Pandemic Flu (particularly the avian flu).

The GNA Emergency Preparedness Project

A series of community meetings, both large and small, will be organized in the following months. Coordinated with the assistance of the Griffin Fire Department, Thurston County and other local agencies, these meetings will help us to prepare, with our families and neighbors, for a variety of emergencies.

Our goal is to safely survive for seven to ten days with limited or no assistance from outside the immediate area. We can meet this goal if we plan ahead and work together.
