Neighbors helping neighbors before, during, and after emergencies.
The Field Team is how LeydenReady turns preparedness into action—on every block, throughout the whole community.

Why A Field Team?

Everyone Gets the Message

County alerts don’t always reach every resident—or prompt quick action. LeydenReady’s Village Coordinators and Block Captains help bridge that gap, ensuring warnings become real-time neighbor alerts and check-ins when it matters most.

Efficiency When Minutes Count

NRG results show that prepared neighborhoods evacuate faster and more calmly. When residents know what to take, where to go, and who might need help, stressful moments turn into coordinated action instead of confusion.

Year-Round Readiness, Safer Outcomes

Wildfire readiness is a year-round effort. Defensible space, go bags, and evacuation plans—combined with neighborhood drills—lead to safer homes, quicker responses, and stronger community confidence long before a threat appears.

The Bottom Line

LeydenReady’s neighborhood-based approach—modeled after proven NRG results—helps residents act efficiently, ensures timely and accurate communication, and provides vital support for those who need extra help. Together, we make preparedness a shared success.
