Pioneertown Emergency Preparedness Network (pepn)
The PEPN mission is to create Community resiliency to assist as needed in emergencies, especially when professional first responders are over-taxed and unavailable. Our goal is to organize and respond in the event of a disaster, ensuring no one is overlooked – especially those with special needs.
PEPN has defined 9 neighborhoods in our community. See the PEPN Regional Map and the Street Directory to find your neighborhood. In each neighborhood, a PEPN Point Person serves as a communication point of contact and liaison for the residents of each neighborhood and emergency responders.
The PEPN Community Survey ensures that we have information about you and your neighborhood so that we know how to reach you and assist you in an emergency. This survey serves as the primary point of contact to join the PEPN network. Please take a moment to complete the survey. Your information will be kept private and only shared with Point Persons and used in the event of an emergency for communication purposes.
The PEPN Point Persons will serve as the communication liaison between PEPN
members, emergency responders, and the neighbors in their designated neighborhood, as shown on the PEPN Regional Map. All data will be kept private and shared only with Point Persons and first responders as needed.
The Point Person in your neighborhood will follow-up with an email
confirming receipt of the Survey and provide you with their contact information.
PEPN will share community information via:
- Pioneertown Post Office PEPN Bulletin Board
- PEPN Facebook Group and Pioneertown/Rimrock Facebook Group.
- WhatsApp Channels for time sensitive communication for residents only.
