@petergleick CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) started in LA. It is a group of volunteers that the program became a model for the rest country that deals with lots of kinds of problems like the ones you mention for responding to events like those. https://community.fema.gov/PreparednessCommunity/s/welcome-to-cert?language=en_US
