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.
