Be prepared, not scared!

A Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) volunteer will present simple, inexpensive ways to prepare for emergencies ranging from severe weather to a major earthquake. During this engaging session with your group of 10 or more community members, we will discuss making plans for home, work, and school; creating go/stay kits; storing water and food; home seismic retrofitting; considerations for multifamily buildings; emergency sanitation; and more. 

You also will learn about optional volunteer opportunities to serve your neighbors during an emergency by receiving additional training from PBEM and Portland Fire & Rescue, including the Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) and BEECN (Basic Earthquake Emergency Communication Node) programs.
