| Get Involved | Support your neighborhood by volunteering to be a Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) member. During a citywide or regional emergency such as a severe winter storm, flood, or major earthquake, volunteer neighborhood rescuers will likely be first on-the-scene when firefighters and police are slowed by impassable streets or overwhelmed by calls for help. |
Overview
The Montavilla, Mount Tabor, North Tabor, and South Tabor neighborhood teams have combined efforts and meet on a regular basis. We would love to have you join us! You do not have to complete NET training in order to attend and participate in meetings. If you are interested in getting officially trained, we’re happy to help you make that happen. Also, if you are interested in preparedness but aren’t able to participate in the NET, there are still plenty of ways to get involved. Explore this website to learn about other resources and opportunities.

Meetings are open to both current and future team members as well as community members interested in preparedness.
