When I heard about the Nextdoor.com site at our CERT meeting, I signed up online but it told me there was no 'neighborhood' set up near me. Today in my email, I received an invitation from Nextdoor.com to join my neighborhood and that there were 10 others listed! So let me remind you that even if you don't see a neighborhood when you check out their site, go ahead and join anyway so you will be notified when others join up nearby.
I like the site already because it shows activities (good as well as bad) going on in this neighborhood AND adjoining ones as well! You can also post items for sale and make announcements. Some have even gotten recommendations on who to go to for home repairs, medical, dentist, vets, etc. from their neighbors.
Also, this would probably be a good place to announce future CERT training classes for those who might be interested around you. Then, in an emergency affecting your community, you won't be the only trained one around!
