The earthquake in early April 2026 lasted a few seconds. The next one might not. It wasn't a disaster — but it was a reminder. When a real emergency hits, phones get overloaded. Power goes out. Help takes time to arrive.

The people closest to you become your first line of support.

Here's what you can do right now:

1. Put a bag under your bed. A headlamp and sturdy shoes secured within reach can keep you from injuring yourself navigating in the dark after a quake. Takes five minutes.

2. Make a family communication plan. If you're separated when disaster strikes, do you know where to meet? Who's your out-of-area contact? FEMA has a free template at www.ready.gov/plan— print it, fill it out, share it with your household.

3. Identify two neighbors you'd check on in an emergency. That's it. Just two. That small step is the foundation of a resilient neighborhood.

Which brings us to WPV-Ready Nodes — a simple framework for turning those neighbor connections into something your whole street can count on when it matters most.
