October 2020
The Navarro NRG is comprised of 225 homes, split between 15 clusters. We have a very active steering committee, many neighbors have stepped up as Block Captains and Control Team members, and we are grateful to everyone for the progress we've made so far!
Our goal of visiting and providing information packets to all of our neighbors by June was sidelined by the pandemic, but we're half-way there. For now, we're mostly doing resident "visits" by phone and on Zoom. Packets include information about preparing for fire, shelter-in-place events, and PG&E power outages, signing up for various alerts, modifying your landscape to remove the most fire-prone plantings, ideas for keeping seniors and pets safe and many other things. Our Block Captains and Control Team all have radios and are participating in the twice-yearly community-wide drills. We hope to start identifying residents with medical skills who can help in a variety of ways.
We can't predict who will be home when a disaster strikes, and shared responsibility is easier for everyone, so we continue to seek Block Captains for all clusters. Corte Gracitas is our highest priority as it has no coverage.
If you live within the boundaries of the Navarro NRG (see map below), please reach out to us...for information about what we're doing, to find out how the NRG might be of help to you during an emergency, and to see how you can contribute to this effort of neighbors helping neighbors. We are eager to welcome planners and leaders to our Steering Committee and Control Team. And perhaps most importantly, take some time to meet new neighbors and renew old acquaintances!
