The aim of Bridges Over Troubled Waters disaster preparedness initiative is to foster being proactive by engaging and mobilizing volunteer coordinators to assist in registering, educating, training, and supporting the targeted population before a disaster, transporting pre and post disaster and utilizing agency resources to provide post disaster assistance. 24-hour emergency supply kits are distributed to residents who fall within the guidelines. Trained participants will be asked to instruct five additional persons on kit preparation – “Each one teach five.”
The mission of Bridges Over Troubled Waters is to serve as a consortium for the community and foster a more effective direct service to those in need during a catastrophic emergency in a coordinated effort with local, area, state and federal agencies.
