The Disaster Preparedness Task Force was organized by Laguna Woods Village residents in 1989 and consists of volunteers who function under the Golden Rain Foundation and in cooperation with the Security Department. Their purpose is to keep residents aware, informed and prepared for major disasters.

The task force publishes and maintains a series of articles on disaster preparation, offers residents free disaster related training and more!

Be A Good Neighbor Captain

We are looking for Village residents who enjoy connecting with their neighbors. In a disaster, a volunteer Good Neighbor Captain would check on their neighbors with a simple form for injuries and building damage which is taken to the nearest Clubhouse Care & Reporting Center.

Good Neighbor Captains are trained by the Disaster Preparedness Task Force to give their neighbors information on how to be prepared for a disaster, big or small. Preparation is peace of mind. A large-scale disaster can be an earthquake, fire, flooding, chemical spill or terrorism requiring residents to shelter-in-place as the first option.

If you don't know who your Good Neighbor Captain is, then there may not be one, so why not you?
