As we celebrate 20 years of the City of Palo Alto's Emergency Services Volunteer (ESV) program, we're highlighting the people and programs that help keep our community prepared. Palo Alto's Block Preparedness Coordinator (BPC) Program helps turn neighbor-to-neighbor support into a simple, organized approach that strengthens community connection and preparedness. BPCs are volunteers who help share trusted information, encourage readiness, and support communication on their block before, during, and after an emergency. Learn all about the BPC program in our latest blog.
