Volunteer to support your neighbors

Not every area has a volunteer captain! If there isn't a captain in your area yet, consider registering to represent your neighborhood.

Why participate?

Neighborhood-led recovery helps people stay connected, informed, and supported long after the crisis ends. When blocks organize together, communities grow stronger, more connected, and more resilient over time.

Support that's shared, not isolated

Lean on one another instead of going it alone. The network helps make sure care, information, and resources are easier to find and easier to share.

Connection that lasts beyond the crisis

Even after the emergency fades from the headlines, the relationships remain. Staying connected helps the whole block feel steadier, more confident, and better prepared for whatever comes next.

More voice in what happens next

Neighbors have a say in how recovery unfolds by working together to decide what matters most for their block and their community.

The #1 Indicator

of a community’s ability to recover after a disaster is the density and strength of its social networks.
