Be 2 Weeks Ready is an multi-part emergency preparedness program developed by the Oregon Department of Emergency Management. The goal of the program is to help citizens prepare for a major disaster so that you can remain independent for up to two weeks – allowing time for emergency responders to focus on critical situations and disaster relief efforts to get established.
We will be sharing this program over the course of four sessions on every other Wednesday from April 30 through June 11. While we highly recommend attending all sessions, you are free to register for the sessions that fit your schedule and interests.
