ORGANIZE YOUR OWN "WHERE WERE YOU IN '89?" BLOCK PARTY - GRANTS AVAILABLE!

October 17th, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake. Thousands of people in the Bay Area will remember this moment with one question: "Where were you

in '89?"To leverage this significant date to build better prepared neighborhoods for the inevitable earthquake, the City and County of San Francisco is producing The Big Rumble, a week long

series of events running from October 12th - 17th to raise awareness of the importance of disaster

preparedness.

 

One exciting component of The Big Rumble is the "Where Were

You in '89?" Block Party initiative. This is your opportunity to participate in

this major regional event. The Big Rumble has worked closely with San Francisco

SAFE Inc, The American Red Cross, the Neighborhood Empowerment Network, and the Department of Parking and

Traffic to help you produce a one-of-a-kind fun filled day for your community.

The

Big Rumble is giving grants to "Where Were

You in '89?" block party

hosts to help cover some of the permitting fees associated with producing a block party as well as

the cost of the required barricades.

All block party applications (for street closure and grants) are due by Wednesday September 23rd at 5pm. We encourage

you to register immediately and get your toolkit by visiting the Where Were You in '89? website.

 

As you know, October is one of the best times of the

year to get outdoors and spend time with your neighbors. We hope

you will take advantage of this exciting community building opportunity.Good luck!The NEN Team
