Ridgecrest Neighbor Network
Ridgecrest Neighbor Network
The RNA is providing organization and resources for emergency preparedness "pods" to form on every block of Ridgecrest. If you are interested in creating a hyperlocal network for support and mutual aid in the event of a disaster (and every day), please join us as we build this new neighborhood resource.

What is a "pod"?
What is a "pod"?
We are still developing this concept, but generally it's a group of 8-12 households on a block that have a contact list and emergency preparedness plan. There are lots of ways this can be useful, both in major disasters and personal emergencies. We are preparing a suite of resources and planning materials to support anyone who wants to coordinate a pod on their block. We are planning a meeting in the fall (date TBD) for anyone who wants to start a pod. Stay tuned as we firm up these plans, and let us know if you want to get involved!
We recommend hosting a block party for Shoreline's Night Out for Community on August 5 as a way to get to know your neighbors and gauge interest in starting a pod. 🙂 Deadline to register is July 10!
