A.D.A.P.T. Emergency Assembly Points

An Emergency Assembly Point (EAP) is a well-developed and well-known FEMA (Federal Emergency Response Agency) disaster management tool for communities and neighborhoods.  

Much like a designated assembly area at a school where children gather outside during a fire drill, EAP’s provide a convenient avenue to facilitate neighbors helping neighbors in a major emergency. 

Residents should go to their Emergency Assembly Point in an emergency, after making sure that their household members are safe and secure.
