Palo Alto Block Preparedness Coordinator Course

Next date: Wednesday, June 24, 2026 | 06:30 PM to 09:00 PM

Do you enjoy walking around your neighborhood, meeting and connecting with your neighbors? If so, we encourage you to consider this important role in your neighborhood. This course is an introduction to the Block Preparedness Coordinator (BPC) Program and includes Neighborhood Watch training. The Block Preparedness Program is a component of the Palo Alto Emergency Services Volunteer (ESV) Program sponsored by the Office of Emergency Services (OES).

• BPCs are relevant not only in a disaster, but also in our everyday lives, building social networks in our neighborhoods, deterring crimes, and preparing for emergencies.
• During activation, BPCs check on their neighbors, identify and report critical problems to their Neighborhood Preparedness Coordinators (NPCs), and assist in getting resources on the scene.
• When neighbors know each other, they look out for each other and work better together. BPCs are the driving force that makes this happen, making our neighborhoods safer places to live. 

This class is free and open to the public.
