Poway Neighborhood Emergency Corps
A modern preparedness platform for the Poway Neighborhood Emergency Corps. Today's local risk, a preparedness assistant, an interactive neighborhood map, and a site volunteers can keep current themselves.
A preparedness platform
Poway can actually use
Building on more than 20 years of PNEC connecting Poway neighbors, we brought the website to life as a living platform: one that shows residents today's local risk, answers their preparedness questions, connects every household to its block, and that volunteers can keep current themselves at no hosting cost.

What this means for Poway
Ready before they ask
Neighbors see today's local wildfire, flood, and heat outlook the moment they arrive, and can get a clear answer to any preparedness question in seconds.
Connected to their block
Every household can find its coordinator, nearest station, and evacuation guidance, strengthening the neighbor-to-neighbor network PNEC is built on.
Owned by the corps
Volunteers keep everything current themselves at no hosting cost, and the platform is ready to grow right alongside the mission.
What Poway gets now
