Agenda Agenda 1. Why prepare for an earthquake? 2. What to expect and how to prepare. 3. Additional optional steps. Who do you think are the first responders to an emergency? Fire Dept., Ambulance, Police, National Guard,….? March 10, 2019 | Portland Bureau of Emergency Management | 2 March 10, 2019 | Portland Bureau of Emergency Management | 2
First Responders are us First Responders are us 95% of people are rescued by their neighbors after an emergency. After a disaster like an earthquake, it takes time for first responders and federal agencies to get help to everyone who needs it – but we can help each other. In fact, most Portland neighborhoods already have what we need to recover from a disaster together. We just have to take a few easy steps to get ready: a shared contact list; a household plan for what to do if power, phones, and clean water aren’t available; and a quick inventory of what resources we have within walking distance. Let’s get ready together. March 10, 2019 | Portland Bureau of Emergency Management | 3 March 10, 2019 | Portland Bureau of Emergency Management | 3
