About Us

Helping Neighbors
Is what we do

Our members are Lakewood Ranch residents, just like you, organized into neighborhood teams. We are your neighbors, prepared to help you when an emergency occurs in our community.  We are trained to provide emergency first aid after a disaster or hurricane. And, using our three-tiered radio network, we are able to call in urgent needs for EMTs, Fire and Police, even if cell phone towers are down or overloaded.
