This is the monthly meeting of the SW Emergency Preparedness Group. We are a group of citizens working to create disaster-resistant communities by raising public awareness, working with our civic leaders, and educating citizens how to prepare for and respond to natural disasters. We invite anyone with an interest to attend. Our focus is SW Portland, however disasters know no boundaries and we believe in working with neighboring groups and individuals.
Due to icy, last month’s meeting/agenda was postponed to this month.
We hope to identify the staging areas of SW Portland, and build our new NET’s around them.
BACKGROUND: Staging areas have become the new standard for NET's. POEM is de-emphasizing the notion of neighborhood teams in favor of the concept of Staging Areas. Teams are less defined by neigbhorhoods and more by the logical proximity to staging areas and geography. (See the NET Redistricting page for an in-depth discussion.)
Parking: Park in the back lot (off of 31st Ave) and enter through the Senior Center door (SE corner of the building).
