Get Prepared!

Ever wanted to prepare for a disaster but felt daunted by all the how-tos? Us too. We know better than most how hard it can be to parse good information from all that's available. If that mountain of info scares you like it did us - good news! We read all that stuff so you don't have to.

The Arbor Lodge and Kenton Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) has curated the following list of preparedness resources. Please take a look at any time.

Who are we? We're your neighborhood NET team, and we're trained by the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management and Portland Fire to assist in a disaster. We hope to build disaster resilience in our community.
