The 3 Steps plan is a simple way to organize a neighborhood so that neighbors help each other to get prepared and be ready for any emergency.  It is a way to build community and bring people together for a common cause.

The 3 Steps are these:

1) organize your neighborhood into small groups of about 10 families each

2) help each other acquire emergency supplies

3) obtain rescue training for a large number of people from the neighborhood

The importance of having such a neighborhood plan is demonstrated in the 3 Steps' Circles of Concern.
