The BIG ONE is just around the corner!  Are you prepared?  Is your family prepared?  Is your business prepared?

The Chamber believes disaster preparation is essential for our community. Of the businesses that don’t prepare and experience a disaster, 40% will never reopen, and 75% of the ones that do reopen, will FAIL within 3 years.

What we do now before the Earthquake, will determine our lives after the Earthquake. Encino.ReadyConnect.us has tools to prepare you, your business, your employees and your family to help you recover quickly.

Encino.ReadyConnect.us gives everyone a toolkit so they can create Contact Lists, get supplies, and have plans in place for their business and family. The system is interconnected to make it easy for people to share information and work together after a disaster.

The Encino Chamber has a Disaster Preparedness Committee meeting the first Wednesday of every month virtually at 12:00 p.m. and several drills throughout the year at Encino Park.

We coordinate C.E.R.T. (Community Emergency Response Team) training through the Los Angeles Fire Department and C.P.R. classes.
