The Gorge Tillicum Community Association has formed a committee to work on neighborhood preparedness in cooperation with the Pearkes Recreation Centre, Saanich and the Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Program. Pearkes Recreation Center has been designated as the neighborhood emergency center and would accommodate those in need of shelter during an emergency. Our committee will be working to fill a kiosk located at Pearkes for the community to use should such an emergency occur. We will also be involved in community organizing designed to be as self-sufficient as possible for the first 72 hours following an emergency using the Block Watch model as an example.
