"Be Fire Safe! Put the Freeze on Winter Fires," a free TVF&R fire safety seminar,
7 PM, October 27, 2021
Did you know that winter is the leading time for home fires in the US? Heating, cooking, and holiday decorations all contribute to an increased risk of fire during the winter months. How well do you know your fire extinguisher? How will you safely evacuate your home in a fire, if your only route out is via a second story window? October is the perfect time to prepare your home for the winter, with fire prevention in mind. In this meeting, you'll learn how to mitigate fire risk and identify common home hazards. You'll also learn what actions to take to avoid injury, when and how to use an extinguisher, and how to exit structures safely. Join your friends at Cedar Hills Ready! Quake Up! and fire marshals from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue for an hour Zoom discussion of these topics at 7 PM, Wednesday, Oct 27, 2021. Everyone is welcome, and it's free. Share and invite your friends and family.

How to win friends and survive a disaster: 9 Steps to neighborhood preparedness - May 26, 2021
Do you feel connected to your neighbors? If a natural disaster strikes, your survival may depend on your neighbors, because emergency services will be overwhelmed. Your best chance of survival is to be surrounded by people who are knowledgeable and prepared — people who have your back and know what to do. Your neighbors are your first responders! Why wait for a disaster to get connected? Check out the video below of our meeting where we describe the 9 steps to take after a disaster, a FEMA Neighborhood Ready! Program, also known as Map Your Neighborhood.
If you'd like us to host a Map Your Neighborhood meeting on your block, contact us. We will help to facilitate your meeting, or we will do our best to put you in touch with a facilitator in your area. Scroll down further to download our free Get Prepared Now" booklet for guidance on a variety of topics. Share with all your important people!

What goes into your go bag? 7 PM, Mar 17, 2021
Are you prepared for the next disaster? Do you have supplies ready? We are seeing an increase in disasters that require fast evacuation or sheltering in place. For example, the Sept 2020 fires in Oregon required many of our friends and family to evacuate in with no time to spare. Some barely escaped with their lives. What did you learn in the 4-day ice storm this February?
Let's get disaster ready with our friends and neighbors and have fun doing it. Join our Cedar Hills Ready! team Zoom meeting at 7 PM on Wednesday, March 17th, 2021. We'll talk about under-bed kits, car/work/school packs (for 1 - 2 days), go bags (for 5 day - 2 weeks), and home emergency supplies storage (for 3 weeks minimum). We will do scenario-based sharing with neighbors, so come ready with your ideas, tips, and tricks.

Neighborhood Ready!
Hi Neighbors!
It's been a while since we've connected, and it's high time we did! Did you know that September is National Preparedness Month? The pandemic is in full swing, but imagine if another disaster hit tomorrow...a big earthquake, or a fire, or a flood. Some of us have family or friends in other states who are already dealing with this type of double whammy. Are you ready? Who can you count on for help? (Clue: It's up to us, neighbors!)
