Heritage Hill residents — we strongly encourage you to make time to attend one of tomorrow’s open house sessions.

⏰ 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. OR 5:00–7:00 p.m.
📍 First United Methodist Church

As a follow-up to that event, we are asking for your feedback on: The social cohesion in our neighborhood, which is a key factor in community resilience;
The levels of personal emergency preparedness in our neighborhood;
How and to what extent our residents have experience or expertise in emergency response; and the type of support most needed by our community when localized crises strike.
