We support emergency preparedness and lead volunteer responses to disasters in the Bountiful, Utah area.
The Committee and the Council
The Committee consists of community leaders from the emergency response districts across Bountiful City and neighboring areas.
The Bountiful Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Council(BNEPC) supports the Committee and community members by operating the Bountiful volunteer Emergency Operation Center (EOC) in the event of disasters and by providing seminars and training on emergency preparedness, including the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program.
Bountiful City is geographically divided into 12 emergency response districts. Each of these is further subdivided into emergency response areas. Finally, each such area contains neighborhood blocks of around 5-10 homes. Every residence in Bountiful has emergency volunteers designated to assist in times of crisis.
The BNEPC prepares Bountiful communities against emergencies.
Besides responding in emergencies, the Bountiful 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.
