Dunbar Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness
What is DEEP
Dunbar Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness is a group of local volunteers helping our community prepare for disaster.
We are a non-profit group, made up of volunteers and neighbours, ready to help the community respond to any emergency.
登巴社区地震及紧急事件的预防准备（以下简称 DEEP)
DEEP项目是关于市民在灾难之后如何确保在社区范围内更好地保护自己。DEEP的构想是在街区间组织邻里建立起相互信任和对彼此一些特殊技能和需求的了解。

Emergency Preparedness
In the aftermath of a disaster, communities will need to become self-reliant. Click on this section to find out more about:
Community Connections
DEEP is about building a strong community. Research shows that in a disaster, people working together have a better chance of survival than individuals acting alone. Prepared neighbourhoods are resilient neighbourhoods.
Amongst other activities, The Map Your Neighbourhood (MYN) program helps residents coordinate after a disaster by identifying local hazards, those in need, and individuals with valuable skills or resources to enhance community response.
Disaster Support Hub
Behind the tennis courts in Memorial West Park is our Support Hub
A Disaster Support Hub (DSH) is a designated location where community members can gather after a disaster to coordinate efforts, share information, and assist one another.
DEEP manages and runs Dunbar’s hub, which is the most advanced in the city of Vancouver.
We are a volunteer run organisation

DEEP is an all-volunteer group and welcomes new members with all skills and capabilities, including multilingual skills reflecting our community diversity.
