Our neighborhood (Cedar Crest) used to have a neighborhood watch program many years ago. I think neighborhoods should implement this or similar programs to watch out for each other and the properties in the neighborhood in case of emergencies, when residents are away from their homes on vacation, or in cases of disasters to know who/how many are in each home. I'm planning on putting together a directory in our neighborhood as we had 25+ years ago consisting of names of household members, phone #s, email addresses, etc. This is a GREAT way to get to know your neighbors & to make our community a stronger place with very little effort or expense. Just a matter of organization & getting the word out!
