National Night Out is a nationwide effort to make communities safer by building and strengthening relationships among neighbors. Strong neighborhoods help us become more resilient and improve our ability to recover after a disaster.
Meet neighbors, build community, strengthen Berkeley
Strong neighborhoods also lay a foundation for resiliency, strengthening response after a disaster. Learn how you can help prepare your neighborhood for disaster.
As an incentive to organize your block, the Office of Emergency Services, in conjunction with Public Works, offers free dumpsters once a year to Berkeley neighbors who regularly collaborate through certain City programs, including National Night Out.
