Neighbors Helping Neighbors PDX volunteer training

Neighbors Helping Neighbors PDX is offering a training for those interested in volunteering. Please see below from Patt at Neighbors Helping Neighbors for more information:

--

_Greetings!

We are offering a training for folks who are interested in volunteering with Neighbors Helping Neighbors PDX as we seek to provide less trash in our neighborhoods and safer/healthier environments for folks living outside. You may be interested in one-off special cleanup projects in your neighborhood or elsewhere in North Portland; or you may want to help Terrance Moses, our founder and operations lead, with regular trash collection rounds held twice-weekly throughout the year. However you choose to volunteer, just know that we truly appreciate your kindness and involvement in making a difference in our neighborhoods!

First, we need to make sure you will be safe as you volunteer with us. To do that, we provide a volunteer training that will cover the following:

  • Volunteer application, waiver, and other administrative documents to keep our records organized

  • Information so you can work safely and won't get hurt

  • Handy resources for locating helpful organizations that serve unsheltered folks

The next Zoom training is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 17 at 7:30 pm. The training is about one hour. At the close, you will receive an email with documents requiring your signature plus the resources and information that was covered in the training. I have also attached a copy of our FAQ brochure_ (below) _which has more information about how Neighbors Helping Neighbors PDX is organized and the services we provide.

Please (mailto: NeighborsHelp12@gmail.com) if you will be attending. If you have family, friends, co-workers or neighbors living in North Portland who may also be interested in attending the training, please feel free to forward this email to them. Everyone's welcome!

URGENT: Volunteers Needed to Staff Severe Weather Shelter

Please see the volunteer request below, via  A Home For Everyone

--

Dear community members,

As we confront what likely will be our community’s most dangerous stretch of severe winter weather in years, we need your help to make sure our neighbors surviving outside can stay safe and warm. What we need most are volunteers to help work shifts at our severe weather shelters.

You can sign up for shifts at both our Arbor Lodge (www.signupgenius.com/go/arborlodgedrc) and Metro Garage (www.signupgenius.com/go/metrogaragedrc) shelter sites. We are particularly in need of overnight shift volunteers. Where you are asked to identify your organizational affiliation, please choose “other” and enter “community volunteer.”

We will be screening guests, staff and volunteers for COVID-19 symptoms at Arbor Lodge. The Metro Garage will not require guest screening because it is a covered open-air facility. However, all staff, volunteers and guests at both sites will be expected to follow physical distancing and masking requirements.

However, if you are feeling sick or if you are in one or more high-risk categories for COVID-19, we would encourage you NOT to volunteer. You can still help out by spreading the word about severe weather shelters, looking out for your neighbors, and donating much-needed cold weather gear through 211info.org/donations. For more information on symptoms and COVID-19 risk categories, please visit Multnomah County’s or the CDC’s websites.

Each shelter site’s signup page provides more information about the work and other requirements. Please review this orientation video and the Disaster Resource Center’s Shelter Packet for Volunteers to learn more about what your volunteer experience will involve. For more information about our COVID-19 safety protocols, please visit this guidance page. Staff will also follow up to provide additional resources and information.

Thank you for stepping forward to serve your most vulnerable neighbors during this crisis.

Arbor Lodge-Kenton Sewer Repair Update

The City of Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services is continuing our work to repair and replace critical sewer and stormwater infrastructure. Environmental Services will continue to provideinformation and updates on construction schedules and activities during the COVID-19 emergency.

Environmental Services is repairing or replacing over 2 miles of public sewer pipes in the Arbor-Lodge Kenton neighborhood area. Many of the existing sewer pipes are more than 80 years old and in deteriorating condition. This project is one of many that will protect the public and the environment by reducing the possibility of sewage releases to homes, businesses, and streets.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULEConstruction began in August 2020 and the entire project will take about a year to complete. Depending on the location and construction method, work could last a few weeks to a few months in one area.

For the most up-to-date information and a project map visit the project webpage.

Week of February 8:

N Saratoga Street east of N Newcastle Avenue and N Dekum Street east

of N Newcastle Avenue:

Crews will repair the sewer mainline and reconstruct several lateral sewer connections using open trench construction. This will take about 2 more days to complete.

N Dekum Street west of N Campbell Avenue:

Crews will repair the sewer mainline using open trench construction. This will take about one day to complete.

N Bryant Street east of N Interstate Avenue:

Crews will repair the sewer mainline and reconstruct a couple of lateral sewer connections using open trench construction. This will take about three days to complete.

N Peninsular Avenue between N Baldwin Street and N Farragut Street:

Crews will repair the sewer mainline and reconstruct a lateral sewer connection using pipe bursting. This will take about three more days to complete.

N Fowler Avenue north of N Willamette Boulevard:

Crews will repair the sewer mainline and reconstruct a couple of lateral sewer connections using open trench construction. This will take about 4 days to complete.

Week of February 15

N Willamette Boulevard east of N Fowler Avenue:

Crews will install a new sewer cleanout. This will take about one day to complete.

N Holman Street west of N Maryland Avenue:

Crews will install a new sewer cleanout. This will take about one dayto complete.

Crews will perform two spot repairs using open trench construction. This will take about one day to complete.

N Washburne Avenue north of N Willamette Boulevard:

Crews will repair the sewer mainline and reconstruct a few lateral sewer connections using open trench construction. This will take about three days to complete.

Cured-in-Place Pipe Lining (CIPP) will occur at the following locations. Each section will take about one day to complete:

N Van Houten Avenue just south of N Fessenden Street

In the public easement between N Washburne Avenue and N Chase Avenue

N Baldwin Street west of N Washburne Avenue

N Baldwin Street east of N Washburne Avenue

N Willamette Boulevard east of N Fowler Avenue

N Wabash Avenue midblock between N Bryant Street and N Morgan Street

N Hurst Avenue south of N Lombard Street

N Holman Street west of N Maryland Avenue

N Chautauqua Boulevard south of N Russet Street

N Chautauqua Boulevard north of N Lombard Street

Our contractor strives to provide an accurate two-week look ahead, but work schedules may change due to weather, conditions underground, traffic impacts, subcontractor schedules, and availability of materials. Our contractor will provide notice to residents and businesses near work zones prior to beginning work.

CONSTRUCTION METHODSThe City uses many construction methods to repair or replace sewer pipes. In your area, the City plans to use Open Trench Excavation, Pipe Bursting, and Cured-in-Place-Pipe Lining (CIPP). To learn more about construction methods, go to www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/methods.

CURED-IN-PLACE-PIPE LINING (CIPP)The pipe lining process involves inserting a flexible liner inside the old pipe, inflating the liner, and exposing it to heat or ultraviolet light to "cure" and harden the liner inside the pipe.

You may smell an odor like plastic or glue during CIPP that will dissipate quickly once the process is complete. The odor is from chemicals in the liner resin. The amounts detected by an independent industrial hygienist are below health risk levels.

To keep the resin odors from entering your home or business through your private sewer, fill any floor drains and infrequently used sinks with a small amount of water. This water will collect in the bend in the drain and block odors from the sewer.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTIONCrews will work during daytime hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturday if needed. Construction can create noise, vibration, odor, and dust and disrupts normal daily activity with traffic delays and restricted parking near the work zone. You can use sewer, water, and other services while we work on your street. To learn more about what to expect during construction go towww.portlandoregon.gov/bes/constructionimpacts.

KEEPING YOU INFORMEDThe City’s goal is to keep businesses and residents informed during construction. The latest project information is available in several ways:

  • Project Webpage: www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/alk
