Here’s what the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay (EVCNB) will be up to at the Manzanita Farmers Market this Friday, August 16th.
Our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will be onsite, at The Manzanita Farmers Market, early to start erecting our tent. This is also considered a training activity. It remains critical that as many people as possible be familiar with the tent set up process. These tents are being utilized by local governments and EVCNB as a means to shelter large numbers of displaced people following any disaster.
Inside the tent will be team leads and representatives from all of our preparedness and response programs. Learn more about the CERT program and how you can contribute. Our Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WaSH) team will have equipment to show. WaSH classes are scheduled for the upcoming months, so take a chance to find out how this can benefit you and your family.
The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and shelter teams can inform you of our local resources should we need to call on them. The communications team will have their innovative Solar GoBox (SGB) on display. It gives us the ability to communicate when other sources like the internet and cell phones are not working. Learn more about how you can be trained to use an emergency radio “Yellow Radio” to get in touch with neighbors.
The Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue Team will be in our same area. Team members and equipment will be there.
We encourage everyone to take the chance to stop by and learn how EVCNB can help you be prepared.
Can’t wait to see you all at the Manzanita Farmers Market!
