Introduce the idea of a “Neighborhood Profile”—a collection of information from online resources that paints a picture of both risks and assets. Provide examples of useful sources, such as: | Introduce the idea of a “Neighborhood Profile”—a collection of information from online resources that paints a picture of both risks and assets.

Break the group into pairs or small teams and assign each a “slice” of the profile to look into (hazards, demographics, infrastructure, resources). If internet access is available, they can explore live; otherwise, bring printed maps or screenshots as prompts. Each group shares highlights with the rest of the team. | Break the group into pairs or small teams and assign each a “slice” of the profile to look into (hazards, demographics, infrastructure, resources).

End by emphasizing that a Neighborhood Profile is not a one-time product. It can be revisited and enriched over time, especially as new data or resources become available. | End by emphasizing that a Neighborhood Profile is not a one-time product.
