Preparedness tools from FEMA and the State of Oregon

Wildfire season has begun and the State of Oregon and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have several tools to help our communities prepare for an emergency.

Be 2 Weeks Ready

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! This Be 2 Weeks Ready program is designed to help you start from where you're at and build your self-reliance and community preparedness step-by-step.
