About

2 Steps a Month

2 Steps a Month is a disaster preparedness program that was originally created for middle school Earth Science students and their families. It was then expanded to support communities organize themselves to prepare for disasters. It's important to know that the people you care about - the folks in your community - are safe and supported.

Let's all take 2 steps a month together on the road to local resilience!

Ms. Rebecca Newburn has been a math and science educator since 1990. She is interested in using permaculture principles to create resources for both teachers, students and her community. She is the Co-founder and Coordinator of Richmond Grows Seed Lending Library, a non-profit that provides free seeds and education on seed saving, located in the Richmond Public Library. The seed library was created as a replicable model. There are now over 200 other communities that have opened libraries. She is a charter member of the Richmond Rivets, a transition town initiative in the City of Richmond, California, where she lives. Both the seed lending library and the 2 Steps a Month to Emergency Preparedness are programs of the Richmond Rivets and can be easily replicated in other communities.
