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.

Resident Emergency Response Committees
Panorama residents volunteer on these committees to help prepare
for emergencies. Join us!
Map Your Neighborhood (MYN)
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

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
Resident volunteer CERT teams perform modified Federal Emergency
Management Agency standard procedures for medical triage, basic
first aid, small fire suppression, and light search and rescue,
tailored to community circumstances. Contact: Ginger Sarver x5618,
Dave Fairbrook x5782.
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. General
Information: Doug White x5275.

supplies such as tarps, stretchers, blankets, hardhats, and
crowbars. Contacts: Dianne D'Alessandro x5452, David Pelto x5396,
Judith Anderegg x5396
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
Pet Partners Panorama Pet Partners provides a venue for residents
to exchange information regarding all aspects of pet care. It also
provides information about how to care for pets during an
emergency. See the Resident Handbook for additional information on
pet emergency preparations. Contact: Becky Johnson x5036.

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.
