Greetings Neighbor! September is National Preparedness Month and this year's theme is Americans Stand Ready. Living on the Oregon Coast means we know better than most that emergencies can happen without warning. Wildfires, tsunamis, severe storms and power outages are all part of life here.
I had the opportunity to participate in this week's Community Meeting on Coastal Hazards where we discussed the biggest concerns facing our community in a disaster situation. These conversations matter and I am glad our community is having them.
This is a great time to make sure you and your household have a plan, a kit and know where to get reliable information when you need it most. I will be dropping some helpful links in the comments to get you started. Take a few minutes this month to get prepared. It is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your neighbors. 🦅
