Ready NW Eugene Preparedness Event

Posted on March 7, 2023 by Tim Foelker

Hello Neighbors,

Join us TONIGHT, March 7th from 6:30 – 7:30 pm via zoom to continue Mapping Our Neighborhood in NW Eugene!

The city of Eugene has already identified specific zones that emergency services will use in case evacuation or emergency alerts are needed – https://www.eugene-or.gov/4732/Emergency-Evacuation-Zones.

We’ll be using our March zoom meeting to define these zones in NW Eugene even further, creating smaller breakouts of each zone where neighbors can feel empowered to: 

  • connect with your closest neighbors
  • begin to Map Your Neighborhood
  • create Damage Assessment Teams
  • locate Radio Communicators

View the start of this NW organizing here – https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=12uu7V3p0EiFuekFdQU7d0ywLVd5768M&usp=sharing

Each colored zone is looking for:

  • Block Captain
  • FRS and/or GMRS Operators
  • Damage Assessment Teams
  • Medical Response Teams
  • Neighborhood HAM
