One of the city’s oldest public safety programs has run into tension with one of the city’s newest. In a Jan. 18 City Council hearing, representatives from Just In Case BH expressed frustration with local Neighborhood Watch branches, saying that residents are confused by the apparent similarities in the two programs.
Just In Case BH is a neighborhood-based emergency preparedness program proposed by Vice Mayor Lili Bosse in 2020. It seeks to bring together residents, businesses, and city agencies in the event of city-wide disasters.
