Our Mission:
We support emergency preparedness and lead volunteer responses to disasters in the Bountiful, Utah area.
The BNEPC leads volunteer emergency response in Bountiful City.
The Bountiful City Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Committee (BNEPC) is the leadership for Bountiful City volunteer emergency response. They are responsible for preparing the residents of Bountiful City for any disaster, emergency, or unexpected event.
The Committee is comprised of local ecclesiastical leaders of multiple faiths, who are assigned to the 12 emergency districts in Bountiful, and the Bountiful Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Council. This Council is an organization of citizen volunteers working under the direction of the Bountiful City Emergency Manager. These Council members combine their years of experience in various emergency preparedness areas to provide leadership and guidance for the Committee and all of its activities.
Bountiful City is geographically broken up into 12 districts, which are further subdivided into areas. These areas are then divided into blocks of around 5-10 homes. The boundaries of these geographic designations are organized along the divisions of the predominant religion in the area, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, for convenience purposes, but all residents and businesses of Bountiful are included. Every home in Bountiful has assigned emergency volunteers to help and assist in times of crisis.
The BNEPC prepares Bountiful communities against emergencies.
Besides responding in emergencies, the Bountiful City Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Committee also provides emergency preparation resources and training to Bountiful and surrounding cities. We sponsor seminars on various topics during the year and a community preparedness fair every two years. We train people in CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), which prepares individuals to respond to emergencies and disasters in their own community. We provide useful preparedness information and resources on our website so that any individual can gain emergency readiness and knowledge.
