Emergency Preparedness Web Group is a group of citizens dedicated to building a disaster resistant community and improving SW Portland’s level of emergency preparedness so that when disaster strikes, people know what to do and lives can be saved.
We are working to increase public awareness and readiness for unexpected events, from winter storms to our worst case scenario: a Cascadia subduction zone megathrust earthquake. We work with other citizens and with various levels of government. There are no residency nor NET-certification requirements. Earthquakes and other disasters respect no political boundaries nor training certification status.
Please consider becoming involved in our work here on the web, by volunteering, or by attending our meetings.
This web site is the new communications hub for our group. It allows us to work and share information continuously rather than just once a month at a meeting. It also serves to document our work. In 2007 we will begin to use our monthly meetings more as a venue for education and dissemination of information.
