To Do for Block Captains
​
GET TO KNOW YOUR BLOCK  ​
  • Introduce yourself and the Lindon City Drill to any new neighbors. You can do this by leaving a flier, calling by phone, and/or talking face-to-face.
  • Be sure to include everyone, paying particular attention to rental units and those who you may not see often.
BE PREPARED BEFORE THE DRILL / A REAL EVENT 
  • The primary role of a Block Captain is communication. Block Captains should be good communicators.
  • Update block information.
  • Review block captain responsibilities.
  • Learn correct lines of communication during a disaster.
  • If you have an Assistant or Back-up Block Captain, review with her/him responsibilities during the drill and during a disaster.

  1. Block Captains should introduce the drill to every household in their assigned block, including rental units.
