A standing-room-only crowd packed the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita on July 28, to attend a lecture on tsunami modeling hosted by the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay.

Our region needs to be prepared for many disasters — winter storms, flooding, fires, earthquakes, tsunamis and more. Take these first steps to prepare yourself:

Have a GoBag for everyone in your home, including pets

Know where to go to get to safety

Make a plan and practice it together

What’s Next

There are many steps you can take to make your home and household ready to be able to survive long periods of isolation and scarce supplies:

Learn what you need to have safe Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

Have a stockpile of emergency food

Prepare Your Community

We’re in it Together

After a major disaster, our communities may be forced to “go it alone” for an extended period of time. Organizing your neighborhood will help you survive:
