  • Get emergency messages: Lake Oswego uses the ClackCo Public Alerts emergency notification system to distribute critical emergency messages via telephone, text or email to registered participants. Fire Departments (including those in Multnomah and Washington Counties) will be covered by ClackCo Public Alerts and are urged to sign up to receive these emergency notifications. Messages relayed include notices to evacuate or shelter-in-place, information relating to flooding, water contamination, shelter locations, gas leaks, missing children or elderly people, and other important emergency information.

Neighborhood Communication

  • If there is internet: Visit NextDoor Palisades Group – Join this growing group to connect with others in our neighborhood.
  • If there is cell service: Establish text and/or phone trees in your neighborhood.
  • If there is no cell service: Use FRS (Family Radio Service) radios

 

Please note that FRS radios do not have the same capabilities as cell phones and are not used in the same way to communicate. For instance, you can not contact the police or fire departments via an FRS radio.

  • Connect to the Palisades Neighborhood Communications Net using a handheld FRS radio. 
  • Contact Us for more information on how to use a Palisades FRS radio and how to join the net today. We have a limited supply that we can loan to those who are interested.
  • Don’t wait until a disaster happens. FRS radios are easy to use. We will show you how.

  • As items are purchased from the approved grant list, the project close-out form is filled out by the person requesting reimbursement. They will attach digital copies of receipts and photos and then submit all to both the NEP Project Coordinator and the PNA Chair.
