Powering Medical Equipment
Do your medical needs require electricity? If so, make sure you have a plan in case of a power outage. No one can predict when an outage might happen. If you depend on life-support or other medical equipment, or medication that needs to be refrigerated, it’s important to be prepared. PGE has provided useful information here. The Medical Certificate Team is also available by phone 503-612-3838 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to answer questions about the program.

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.
