Sun City Anthem Emergency Preparedness Service Group (EPSG)

Mission: 

1) To provide meaningful recommendations, guidance and direction on preparation for emergencies affecting the Sun City Anthem (SCA) community.

2) To endeavor to provide operational response, support, and guidance to the SCA community should an emergency or disaster occur, and, 

3) To provide emergency communications.

 Why prepare? Las Vegas and Henderson are not immune from natural and made-made disasters. Disasters are notable for their scale, unpredictability, or both, leaving devastation in its' wake. The impact of such an event is often most severe for people who failed to plan ahead for emergencies. Any of these, or in combination, could be so severe or widespread as to overwhelm existing resources such as Fire, Police, EMS, and other utilities. Depending on the severity of the event, first responders will be dispatched where they can do the greatest good for the greatest number of people. This may mean that response to lower priority or smaller events may either be delayed or non-existent. In addition, the damage from an event can impede, hinder, or completely obstruct the ability for first responders to reach those needing assistance. Many communities have recognized that in an emergency or disaster, they may need to be self-reliant and assist community members until government agencies and First Responders can assume control of emergency operations. Most importantly, the EPSG's role is to provide that assistance to the SCA community.
