TCEP has received inquiries from the community regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and TCEP's role. As a reminder, TCEP is not a government agency and we have no official capacity to provide medical advice or directives. Our dedicated volunteers all live in the area and are taking the necessary steps to keep themselves and their families as safe as possible while this very fluid situation continues to evolve.
TCEP’s mission is to help educate the public on emergency preparedness and to provide information updates during active disasters, such as wildfires, earthquakes and floods. For the latest information on protecting yourself and the community from C-19, consider accessing official government resources. We have posted links below. The consensus advice from the experts at the organizations linked below is that crowd avoidance, social distancing and careful personal hygiene may help to slow the disease transmission.
Many members of our community have been more severely impacted than others and our hearts go out to them. Those of you who have already organized a Neighborhood Network can use your network to identify vulnerable neighbors and work together to assist them. For information on how to organize a Neighborhood Network, please email nn@tcep.org.
The Topanga Community Center and the Canyon Sages have developed a canyonwide program to help vulnerable residents by connecting them with people who want to help. Please visit TCC for details.
If we all follow the advice from experts, we will get through this crisis together.
