The event is an opportunity for local residents to get to know one another better while offering useful, interesting information to help people understand what the City can (and can’t) do to help in large-scale emergencies caused by road closures, weather, tsunami, fire, or earthquake. Information will be available to support families in becoming better prepared. Topics include ‘Emergency Camping’ at Home, How to Create an Emergency ‘Grab and Go’ Bag, Caring for Pets, Where to Go, How to Get Official Information, Finding Safe Shelter, Emergency Water and Sanitation. Attendees will be able to inspect the City’s new emergency InStove, the new “AquaMundo” emergency water purification system, and the contents of the new Neighborhood Blue Barrels. Tours will also be given for the new emergency storage and communications facility now located in Upper Park.
Organized by the Wheeler Citizen Emergency Preparedness Planning Group in partnership with the City of Wheeler, the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay, and the Tillamook Creamery Association, the event will highlight the value of working together to prepare for the inevitable weather events and natural disasters that can affect our rural area.
Join us there!
