Hi folks ,
I like this idea very much, some neighborhood outreach.
I was thinking of contacting the Islamic School as well.
The idea of smaller units then joining with a set of those around them sounds
great.

Great! Sounds like some good ideas for streamlining some of the organization
of the hub. I’ve made several attempts at meeting with our neighborhood
church but never was able to meet with the pastor. I will get that going
again to see if we can meet

Hi all,
Erika and I talked last week with John Temple, the founder of Laurelhurst
Earthquake Action Preparedness. His group has been around a few years and is
working, like us, to organize their neighborhood and establish a hub.
We discussed how things started for them and where they are at currently.
John says that they've managed to get active engagement from about 40% of
Laurelhurst, which is no small feat given the size of their hood (about 3-4
times larger than Garfield.) They have contracted with a church to store
their hub gear and allow them to use the property to operate the hub.
I'll let Erika add her observations, but perhaps the biggest takeaways for
me is that John said that they've managed the 40% by consistent community
outreach; he estimates about once per month they are out at some sort of
community event promoting preparedness and engaging neighbors or throwing an
informational event like ours back in March.
He also showed us how they've divided the neighborhood up into "clusters" -
much like the zones I drafted earlier this year
(https://maphub.net/tkiehne/garfield_north ;
<https://maphub.net/tkiehne/garfield_north>). As part of their outreach,
they have flyers for each cluster showing a block map and giving out the
basic info for how to organize. This along with a 3x5 postcard form make up
the information at the hub level - the details are left to the cluster to
maintain, i.e.: he doesn't track anything on an address level like our form
does, just the general outline (e.g.: does the cluster have leadership, do
they have any specific skills or equipment within the cluster.) These ideas
could certainly streamline what we are doing here.
Finally, John & Leap are now officially part of the community council there
(something like a committee), which allows them to take advantage of
non-profit status.
