The State of Oregon has launched a new Be 2 Weeks Ready emergency preparedness toolkit. This program offers 8 modules and a variety of activities to enhance each module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being 2 Weeks Ready means having an emergency plan and enough supplies for you and everyone in your household to survive for at least two weeks following a disaster. This may sound overwhelming, but you’re probably more prepared than you think! The Be 2 Weeks Ready <\/strong>program is designed to help you start from where you’re at and build your self-reliance and community preparedness step-by-step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The State of Oregon Community Preparedness Coordinator, Kayla Thompson, says: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou can access the toolkit on your own at any time by going to our website, https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/oem\/hazardsprep\/pages\/2-weeks-ready.aspx<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n … For this program, a community is any group of people who spends time together. … Communities could be co-workers at a job, parents and guardians of students in a school, neighborhood associations, faith-based groups, or even students in a college dorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, this program can be done individually, but we\u2019ve added that community structure. So it starts with the Community Preparedness Coordinator at OEM, which is me. I manage the program and I support the program coordinators. The program coordinators are individuals who are in an outreach or a training position and want to bring this program to their community. They then select community hosts who are people within their community who want to teach this information to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And lastly, the communities are the groups of people who want to learn the preparedness information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about the program, access the materials, learn how to become a coordinator or host, and get more information at the above link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ready NW Be 2 Weeks Ready trained coordinator Dawn Scott is preparing to roll out this training in northwest Eugene and welcomes collaboration with other Eugene coordinators.
