About Us
Neighbor to Neighbor Project
The Neighbor to Neighbor Project is a new concept developed in Josephine County, Oregon to raise awareness among our citizens of the importance of safety and preparedness and to guide them to good information as well as opportunities to volunteer in their community.
We seek to reach our neighbors not only to better prepare them for emergencies but to help connect them to each other as a way to strengthen our community for a better, safer and more prepared future. To that end, our special emphasis is Citizen Corps Council, first here in Josephine County but then elsewhere around the country.
