IMPORTANT NOTICE
Thanks, BC-PEP
Please download the HELP-OK sign (pdf file) by
clicking HERE.
The file contains two full page signs:
- One sign in red with white lettering "HELP"
- One sign in green with white lettering "OK"
Either reference your neighbors here, or print and make copies of each sign
for them. (If you have heavy enough paper, you can print them 'back to back'.)
Immediately after an emergency, have them place the applicable
sign in a prominant place (window), that can be easily seen from outside.
This will aid emergency/rescue personnel entering the area in quickly assessing where help is
and is not required, and can allocate resources without having to physically
check each residence/business. This is a very simple, yet very effective system. Please try to insure that your neighbors have the signs, and keep them where they can be easily accessed in an emergency.
Thanks, and a tip of the hat for both the idea, and the sign file to Mervin Harrower, Director of Provincial Emergency Preparedness, British Colombia, CANADA, and his entire dedicated staff. We also recommend everyone to visit their site whether you live in Canada or not, for the great information there. The site is

system.
You might use them to direct neighbors, community, etc. to web pages with
critical emergency information/new required during an emergency (i.e.
Emergency Victim Locator, etc.), or create a 'tour' of emergency related
websites in your community, and leave the tour looping so that visitors
can join the tour at any time.
To add the utility to your own web page you need only paste
a few lines into the page html code. Click on the "Get Your Own WebCruiser"
