Block Captain Brigade: This team is the “boots on the ground” of MVEST. There are 315 homes in Marin Valley, with approximately 425 residents. We have divided the community into six zones, each containing an average of about five “blocks”.
A Block Captain is assigned to each block to communicate messages to individual residents about personal preparedness, prevention, and emergency mitigation measures. During an emergency such as a power outage, fire, earthquake, or flood,
Block Captains also provide rapid community assessment and status reports to IC via their respective Zone Chiefs — and in return, rapid and thorough dissemination of information and directives to the residents from the IC as the community responds to the emergency.
Block Captains also perform a “Neighborhood Watch” function.
