Prepare an Emergency Kit

HOW LONG CAN YOU SURVIVE?
Prepare an emergency kit for yourself and your family.
Due to overwhelming need elsewhere or lack of access to your neighborhood, you may be on your own for several days after a major disaster. A well-stocked kit can help you survive and be more comfortable during a major event such as earthquake, flooding, power outages, etc.

What will you need to survive for a week? Two weeks? Print this checklist and build your emergency supply kit this weekend.

Map Your Neighborhood

Tigard offers free Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) training to help neighbors prepare for disasters. The training identifies:

How to secure your home and protect your neighborhood immediately following a disaster.
Neighbors who have emergency response skills and equipment.
Shut-off sites for natural gas, propane tanks and water service.
Neighbors who may require special assistance, like children and the elderly.
A neighborhood gathering site and care center.

We’ll bring the training to you! The city has several trained volunteers who will come to your neighborhood, provide MYN training and help you establish an emergency action plan. To learn more about MYN training, or to schedule a presentation, please provide your name, address and phone number to MYN Coordinator Greg Harris.
