Madison Valley Hub

About This Grant

To create resiliency in our community, we will teach emergency preparedness and disaster skills. We will host two public events at the MLK Fame Community Center to help prepare the Madison Valley residents for a disaster. On April 2 we will hold a skills fair which is an event with multiple stations where people can learn how to prepare themselves for a disaster with loss of power, water, and cell coverage for a few days to two weeks. This will include managing gas leaks and downed power lines, caring for loved ones and pets, planning for food, water, and sanitation, sheltering in place if one's home is damaged, and communicating with neighbors and city officials. On May 21 we will hold a grand opening of the hub site where we will demonstrate the use of the hub site as a gathering place for the Madison Valley neighborhood in the event of disaster and encourage Individual households to prepare disaster supplies and communication plans.
