First Responders are us First Responders are us

95% of people are rescued by their neighbors after an

emergency. After a disaster like an earthquake, it takes time for

first responders and federal agencies to get help to everyone who needs it – but we can help each other. In fact, most Portland neighborhoods already have what we need to recover from a disaster together. We just have to take a few easy steps to get ready: a shared contact list; a household plan for what to do if power, phones, and clean water aren’t available; and a quick inventory of what resources we have within walking distance.

Let’s get ready together.
