What to do:
Make sure your friends and neighbors have what they need: food, shelter, water, and t.p.. Do NOT make them ask for help.
If you need help, do not be afraid to tell a friend. Tell those of us here. We are all over the place; someone is surely near enough to help you.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.My neighbours are odd and kooky and some involved in criminal activities. I engage them on a limited basis, aka they start a convo with me in the elevator or laundry room and I reply courteously. I already have crazy family to deal with, no energy for crazy neighbours as well. sorry, self-care first

Linda took a small bouquet of flowers from our garden to each of our neighbors today. Great way to stop in and say; "call us if you need anything".

File on time. But you've got an extra 90 days to pay up. 
Good advice but you didn't list "DON'T PANIC!" in nice friendly letters.

I get what you’re saying, but telling someone to not panic is the same as telling someone to calm down. It really doesn’t work. That’s why I like this idea ... it’s not telling people what to do but rather offering a way that will actually HELP people to calm down ... ya know?
A timely reminder...we have to look out for each other!

@MissKathleen Yes..indeed we do.
Love this. Yes, people would be too embarrassed to ask a neighbor for help in most cases. So we should proactively offer. Such a great suggestion.

I just got a note through my door from a younger neighbour earlier today asking me to text her if I need anything brought from the shops...I really appreciate that, and have texted her my thanks for her thoughfulness.
