Neighborhoods all across the country are contending with severe weather crises like they’ve never before seen. Nextdoor plays a direct role in creating community by organizing neighbors to act, even in emergencies. Our neighbors expect Nextdoor to connect them to their community in every moment – not just during the good times.
Just before and as a crisis happens, the first people on the ground, whether they need help or are willing to offer help, are neighbors. They're the first, easy-to-action, rapid-response team.
Given that Nextdoor is the essential app to discover, connect, achieve, and belong within your local community, it was the ideal platform for The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to spread its mission of safety.
MDOT partnered with Nextdoor to raise awareness of hurricane preparedness and help save lives by sharing its 2024 Hurricane Evacuation Guide and Hurricane Survival Kit Checklist — both available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese — to nearby neighbors.
