Terra Firma Planning will be presenting their Community Disaster Preparedness toolkit and recommendations for NECN at ResiliencePDX.
ResiliencePDX is an event to connect Portlanders who want to acquire or share knowledge and skills about disaster preparedness, showcasing the various groups around Portland that can serve as resources for the community before, during, and after a major emergency. There will also be a number of skills workshops, where experts will share knowledge to help you prepare for and recover from a disaster. So come and learn, it’s all for free!

Upcoming Open Houses
"Ask not what your neighborhood can do for you; ask what you can do for your neighborhood" ... When the Big One -- say, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake -- rattles Portland and topples bridges, where would you go and whom would you help? What resources -- food, water, shelter -- would be available if your neighborhood becomes an island? Terra Firma Planning is hosting two open houses to elicit public feedback on draft community emergency-preparedness recommendations for the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods. Whether you live, work or play in North Portland, we encourage you to stop by one of the events and to think about what you can do for your neighborhood. Our first open house will be on Friday, May 4, from 4-7 p.m., at the Mississippi Marketplace Food Pod, 4233 N. Mississippi Ave. The second open house will be on Tuesday, May 8, from 4-7 p.m., at the Oregon Red Cross Trail Chapter headquarters, 3131 N. Vancouver Ave. We hope to see you there! |
Upcoming Focus Groups
The Terra Firma Planning team will be hosting a series of focus groups to identify the skills, assets, and needs of organizations in North and Northeast Portland that would be important following a disaster. If you or your organization would like to attend, please email us at solidground@necoalition.org. Our focus group dates are:
These meetings will be held at the NECN offices at 4815 NE 7th Ave. Refreshments will be provided! |
