Emergency Snow Traction

December 20, 2011 - 11:07am — Mitch Neilson

This video shows how to make a set of "Tire Chains" using 10mm Nylon rope. This is a great resource to be aware of if you are ever in need. I have always kept rope in my vehicles but never thought to use it like this.

Map Your Neighborhood

May 20, 2010 - 11:25am — Mitch Neilson

As you work within your neighborhood or workplace I want to remind you about the Map Your Neighborhood program. This is a program that helps organize your neighborhood and develop the relationships needed in times of disaster.

The program lasts an hour to an hour and a half. It can be held in an individual home, community clubhouse, church, business, or even at the fire station.

I have the materials and will lead a discussion for your group to get to know your neighbors and surroundings better.
