Get the latest information on emergency preparedness

Published September 5, 2026

Planning for an emergency can be overwhelming. Lake Oswego’s upcoming Emergency Preparedness Fair provides, in one stop, all the information you need to  ensure you are ready for severe winter storms, earthquakes, extreme heat, a flood, or other natural disaster.

Make sure to stop by the information table hosted by the Community Health and Resiliency Advisory Board. Several Palisades neighbors serve on the board and want to hear about your priorities for a safe and connected city. They will also share information about how to create a list of emergency contacts in your neighborhood using a 4 From Your Door door hanger. 

Other highlights at the fair include:

  • Water Container and Bag Giveaway
  • Stop the Bleed Training
  • Pet Preparedness
  • Wildfire Home Assessments
  • Emergency Supply Kits
  • Hazard & Emergency Tree Management

Here are all the details you need to take part.
