THE NRG MISSION
Central Marin is at very high risk from natural disasters like wildfires, earthquakes and floods. In recognition of which the first NRG came into being in 2011 under the auspices of the Town of Corte Madera and an umbrella organization known as Central Marin NRG was formed to expand the NRG model throughout Central Marin. The NRG program is a grassroots volunteer-driven initiative designed to assist the residents of Central Marin prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters by encouraging a neighbors-helping-neighbors approach and by providing resources, guidance and training and conducting periodic disaster drills. There are currently 41 NRGs throughout Central Marin covering roughly 6,000 households. The NRG success story is due to the hard work and passion of hundreds of volunteer organizers who serve as block captains and steering committee members and to the financial support of the Towns of Central Marin.
