Level 1
- Develop a community-based mass care program that includes warming and cooling centers. Recruit and train volunteer staff. Acquire and stockpile supplies.
Level 2
- Add overnight emergency shelters to your community based mass care program. Recruit and train volunteer staff. Acquire and stockpile supplies.
Level 3
- Develop plans and instruct residents to create neighborhood shelters, where one home is used by several households as an emergency shelter for the neighborhood. Resources could be pooled that would provide alternate heat (like woodstoves), fuel (for a single generator), and a manual source of water.
