Disaster Preparedness Webinars for Rural Oregon Communities
The Oregon Department of Emergency Management is organizing a series of free webinars aimed at enhancing disaster preparedness among rural communities in Oregon. These webinars are designed to equip residents with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively respond to disasters such as floods, extreme heat, and wildfires. The series, titled 'Rural Communities Prepared for Disasters,' will feature disaster response experts who will provide insights and resources tailored to the specific needs of rural Oregonians. The first session, scheduled for April 22, will focus on preparedness and response strategies, including maintaining communication during system disruptions, evacuation protocols, and backup power options. The second session, set for May 13, will address recovery and long-term support, detailing funding processes, recovery efforts, and community involvement in long-term recovery groups.
