If needed, how to ask for or offer help evacuating
🚗 If you ever need to evacuate, do you have a neighbor who could give you a ride — or do you know if a neighbor near you might need one?
The best time to figure that out is right now, before an emergency.
Two ways to start the conversation:
→ Knock on their door. Introduce yourself and tell them you're working on your emergency plan. Ask if they'd be willing to exchange numbers and look out for each other if evacuation is ever needed. Simple, direct, and it works.
→ Post on Nextdoor. Let neighbors know you can offer a ride or that you'll need one. Copy and paste this link into your browser to open the Nextdoor composer and describe your situation in detail: https://nextdoor.com/news_feed/?open_composer=true&hashtag=neighborhelp
While you're talking to neighbors, make sure they're on Nextdoor — if not, invite them to join so they can receive updates directly from local public agencies: https://nextdoor.com/agency/feed
Do you already have a neighbor evacuation plan in place? Share in the comments — your setup might give someone else a simple idea they hadn't thought of. 👇
🔍 Search "neighborhelp" in the Nextdoor search bar to see local requests and offers from neighbors near you.
