For Independent Living Residents at Panorama
Fall 2021
Map Your Neighborhood
Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) is a neighborhood-based program at Panorama that builds emergency readiness and response. Resident Council Districts are divided into small neighborhoods, each with a volunteer Neighborhood Captain or Co-Captains.
If you are a Neighborhood Captain, your role is to:
• Teach neighbors how to prepare for an emergency and what to do when one happens;
• Inventory skills and equipment neighbors have that may help during an emergency and share this with neighbors;
• Identify residents who may need extra assistance; and
• Inform residents about the Porch Packet system and the Porch Packet location for your neighborhood.
If you are a resident, we hope you will:
• Prepare for an emergency. Follow the guidance in this booklet, collect emergency food, water & supplies, and submit the form on page 10;
• Periodically check Kya for updates to this booklet and to review other emergency preparedness and response information;
• Participate in planning sessions with your Neighborhood Captain and share the form on page 10 with your skills, equipment, and supplies that may be useful; and
• Follow the 7 Steps to Take Right After a Disaster on page 2.
For more information, please talk to your Neighborhood Captain and see Kya: More/Resident Emergency Resources. For the name of your Captain, ask your neighbors or call one of the MYN Co-Chairs.

7 Steps to Take Right After a Disaster * Not applicable to apartment residents.
1. Take care of yourself and loved ones.
2. Protect head, feet, hands, lungs, and eyes.
A bicycle helmet or hard hat protects your head from falling debris. Shoes under the bed protect from broken glass, a common cause of injury after earthquakes. Leather gloves protect your hands from sharp objects. A face mask protects lungs (N95). Goggles protect eyes from dust and particulates.
3. Display the “Help” or “OK” Sign Place it on your front door or window where it can easily be seen (not behind a bush). In apartments, place it in the plastic mailbox outside your door. This lets your neighbors and staff know your status.
4. *If gas is leaking, shut off natural gas or propane in your home.
Most Panorama single-family homes do not have seismic shutoff valves that automatically shut off gas in case of earthquake. Shutting off gas and propane are the responsibility of Panorama staff. Shut off gas and propane only if there are signs gas is leaking and Panorama staff are not available.
5. *Place your fire extinguisher at the end of your driveway or where neighbors can see and use it.
6. Preserve the potable water in your home only in a major emergency. Shutting off water mains is the responsibility of Panorama staff because most water shutoffs control water to more than one residence. See Kya or ask your Neighborhood Captain how to get drinking water from a water heater.
7. Go to your MYN Gathering Site. On the way there, note homes with Help signs. Identify residents willing and able to take action (may not be MYN Captains). Only those who are willing and able:
1. Identify and help people with immediate needs. 2. Go to the nearest CERT Porch Packet Gathering Site. These are being
identified. For the latest info, see your Neighborhood Captain or Kya.

This neighborhood-based program builds emergency readiness and response. Panorama’s Resident Council Districts are divided into neighborhoods; each has a volunteer Neighborhood Captain. Captains teach neighbors how to prepare for an emergency and what to do immediately afterwards, as well as inventory skills and equipment neighbors can share during an emergency. They also identify residents who may need extra assistance. Contacts - Linda Clary 5397, Edith Bryan 5204, Steve Tilley 5529
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

Emotional Support Team
Members will provide emotional support services to residents and residents' family members on request. The team may make referrals to Independent Living Services for follow up care and support. The Team cannot provide long term counseling services. To ask for help during a disaster or emergency, call and leave a message at 6006 or 360-413-6006 or send a request to a Warming Center.

Warming/Cooling Center Hosts (WCCH)
Hosts welcome residents to the Warming/Cooling Centers, point out amenities, share information from other RER organizations, and relay needs to appropriate resources (i.e., Social Services or Urgent Response). In apartment buildings, hosts may deliver messages in their own building. Pets will be permitted only at the Warming/Cooling Center in the Aquatic and Fitness Center. Contacts: Doug White x5275, Jan Van Pelt x5939

Warming/Cooling Centers See the map for Warming/Cooling Center locations.
Warming/Cooling centers will be open during extended cold weather power outages, during certain periods of extreme heat and in the event of air quality emergencies. Panorama’s Operations department monitors extreme weather conditions and air quality and acts on information received from the Thurston County Emergency Management and NOAA’s National Weather Service.
When the warming/cooling centers are open in cases of extreme weather or air quality emergencies, an announcement will be made on Kya and the Reader Board.
Each Center has emergency power for heat, air-conditioning, and lights. All centers will be equipped with extra filtration when necessary. If you need to spend the night, you will be directed by Panorama staff or resident volunteers to a campus location designated for sleeping.
Most centers will have hot coffee and tea. Some cots and light bedding may be available but try to bring your own bedding, medications, books or games. Rest rooms will be available. You may bring food but not plug-on appliances such as crock pots or coffee pots
Notices about opening of warming centers will be sent out via a variety of methods which may include Kya, the Reader Board, and SARA Robo Calls.
If you need a ride to a warming center, call ILS Social Services (unless otherwise stated in messaging at the time) at x7557 or 360-438-7557. If you have special needs such as a wheelchair lift, they could assist with options.
Seventeen51 Restaurant & Bistro is not a designated warming/cooling center and may not be open in an emergency.
