To Do List for Block Captains:

GET TO KNOW YOUR BLOCK 
  • Introduce yourself and the Lindon City Drill to any new neighbors 
  • Be sure to include everyone, paying particular attention to rental units and those who you may not see often
  • Please plan a small get-together on the evening of the drill to encourage drill participation and neighborly inclusion, like:
    • having a potluck
    • providing donuts or cookies
    • gathering in an area that's safe for children to play and for adults to talk comfortably
    • or even, preparing a quick discussion about block, family, or personal preparedness
    • NEW! Please tell your block residents to sign up for the city emergency notification system
​
PREP YOUR MATERIALS
  • Print and review forms to be used in the drill (see FORMS tab above)
  • Prepopulate the forms as much as you can either by hand or on your computer using the Edit PDF feature in Adobe Acrobat Reader

MEET WITH YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS SPECIALIST 
  • Work together to update block information
  • Review block captain responsibilities
  • Learn correct lines of communication during a disaster
  • If you have an Assistant Block Captain, review with her/him responsibilities during the drill and during a disaster

INFORM THE RESIDENTS ON YOUR BLOCK OF DRILL SPECIFICS
  • Fliers and other promotional information may be given to you or are available to be printed from this site (see FORMS tab above) 
  • Deliver fliers to the houses within your block
  • As you talk to the residents within your block answer any of their questions about the drill and thoughtfully consider any concerns

BE SURE TO HONK YOUR HORN AT 6PM ON THE NIGHT OF THE DRILL 
  • ​This will help the neighbors around you know when the drill has begun
  • You won't be alone - other horns, sirens, and whistles will be going off all around town
