Your Community
When neighborhoods connect with fire districts, emergency teams, and non-profits, the whole community becomes more resilient.
Community-Level Preparedness
WPV-Ready works at the community level through partnerships with the Woodside Fire Protection District (WFPD), WPV-CERT, and Emergency Preparedness in Communities, Inc. (EPiC).
Together, we provide training, organize neighborhoods, coordinate with county emergency management, and ensure our communities have the resources they need.
