"In a disaster, the number one person who is going to save you is your neighbour. "

Sarah Stein Lubrano

Physically introduce yourself to the people living on your floor, block, or street. It may seem like a small act, but it is something that fewer people do (especially in cities). We are as strong as the community we build: on a day-to-day basis and on the structural level of our democratic socio-political systems. Getting to know your neighbours is an important first step to building a community and the moral principle of democracy: the realisation of equality between individuals.  

Ensuring your neighbours know you exist is a baseline safety measure for disaster preparedness and mutual defence. In a time of crisis, your neighbours are the first to be able to help.
