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.

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!)
