Palisades Neighborhood Association

Emergency Preparedness for our Neighborhood

Published February 2, 2021

We are always looking for community members that want to be involved. Let us know how you’d like to help. Fill out our Join Us! form.

Visit PrepLo.org for the latest information regarding Lake Oswego Neighborhoods Preparing for Disasters. From their site: “We are a committed team of Lake Oswego neighborhood associations joined together to promote self sufficiency and resiliency”.

The Palisades Neighborhood Association recognizes that individual city residents, neighborhoods, and communities will be vital to an effective response after a major disaster. As city services are stretched thin the ability of neighbors to work together will be critical. Individual and neighborhood emergency preparedness has proven to help communities withstand and recover from disasters more quickly.

CASCADIA EARTHQUAKE

According to the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries Oregon is overdue for a significant earthquake.  This earthquake will most likely impair our access to clean water, groceries, electricity and gas for as long as three or four months. 
The intention for providing the information in this section is not to alarm but rather empower and unite our neighbors by listing resources and proven solutions to help every household, individually and as a community, be prepared in case of such an emergency.

The PNA board then votes on which items should be included in the NEP grant proposal.

  • 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. The NEP Project Coordinator submits the reimbursement request to Iris at the City for reimbursement.
  • Reimbursement checks are then sent directly to the person who purchased the item(s).
