7. Neighborhood Communications Dealing with a crisis
Bob Hamlin (Director of the Jefferson County Department of Emergency Management) has said:
"The ability to deal with a crisis is largely dependent on the structures and relationships that have been developed before the emergency."

8. Neighborhood Communications Dealing with a crisis
Communication is a critical component
in those structures and relationships.
Nextdoor’s City Agency Partnership program would give agencies - like the Sheriff and the Department of Emergency Management - the ability to communicate with one, several or all Nextdoor neighborhoods in Jefferson County.
