Weekly Yellow Radio Net
Don’t forget to check-in to the Thursday EVCNB Yellow Radio Net at 6:00 on channel 119.
Join the weekly practice where Yellow Radio owners hone their communication skills. Each practice has a brief Educational Moment covering a vast array of preparedness tips, accessories, strategies to keep your radio charged when the power is out and radio techniques.
Communication is one of the most important components of emergency preparedness and response. In many emergencies, especially a major earthquake and tsunami like the anticipated Cascadia Subduction Zone event, usual communication pathways like landlines, cell phones and the internet will be unavailable.

EVCNB GSO 2024 Timeline
10/16 Wednesday
10:00 am - EVCNB sends out a text notice advising folks to set an alarm to listen to KQMI at 10:17 on 10/17.
10/17 Thursday
10:17am - KQMI announces the start of the earthquake in their broadcast. (In a real earthquake, the shaking is your warning.) The announcer reminds listeners “This is the Great ShakeOut exercise. An earthquake has started. Get outside if you can. If not, Drop, Cover, and Hold on until shaking stops. In a real Cascadia event, shaking could last longer than 5 minutes. For this exercise, we will speed things up.” KQMI will give information about what to expect with instructions on what to do in case of such a real emergency.
When KQMI is done the announcer tells everyone, “The shaking has stopped. Grab your GoBag and Yellow Radio and go to your safe place, either a Neighborhood Gathering Site or Assembly Area. Tune your YR to your Zone Channel and check-in. This is an exercise.” People in participating Clusters are to grab their GoBags and YR and go to your Neighborhood Gathering Sites. Other listeners should go to a designated Assembly Area.
Meanwhile, at each safe location, the YR Lead person keeps a tally of arriving people on the Evacuation Location Report form.
ZNCs and Ham Net Controls start their nets and take check-ins.
10:30am - The Zone Net Controls (ZNCs) announce that the initial tsunami waves have arrived. (“This is the Great ShakeOut exercise. It has been 12 minutes since the shaking stopped. The initial tsunami waves have started to arrive. We hope you have arrived at your safe location. This is an exercise.”)
10:30-11:15am - ZNCs ask for YR Leads to send their Evacuation Report Forms to their Zone Ham.
10:30 - 11:30am - Zone Hams pass their evacuation report forms to NKNRPT Net Control.
11:30am - NKNRPT Net Control switches to HEBO22 (channel 001), checks-in and passes a report summary to the Tillamook EOC. The reports are also delivered via Winlink radio email to the TC Emergency Manager.
12:00pm - Exercise ends.

Le invitamos a participar en un importante estudio de investigación titulado “Mejorar la Preparación y Resiliencia de la Comunidad ante Desastres a través de Simulacros Físicos y Virtuales”, realizado por el Centro de Investigación de Peligros en las Costas y Comunidades de Cascadia (CoPes Hub, por sus siglas en inglés).
El Centro de Investigación de Peligros de las Costas y Comunidades de Cascadia (CoPes Hub) es un equipo de investigadores financiado por la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias (NSF, por sus siglas en inglés, Premio #2103713). El CoPes Hub se dedica a mejorar la resiliencia y aumentar el conocimiento sobre los riesgos de desastres naturales y el cambio climático que enfrentan las comunidades costeras. El objetivo a largo plazo del Hub es mejorar la preparación de las comunidades y su capacidad para enfrentar y recuperarse de los impactos de riesgos en la costa. de los peligros costeros.
Esta encuesta forma parte de uno de los proyectos de investigación del CoPes Hub, dirigido por Dr. Haizhong Wang (IP) y Dr. Michael Lindell (Co-IP) de la Universidad Estatal de Oregón. El objetivo de este proyecto es evaluar la preparación de las comunidades costeras ante un tsunami de la Zona de Subducción de Cascadia mediante la evaluación de simulacros de evacuación. Un enfoque clave de este proyecto es medir cuánto tiempo tardan los residentes costeros en prepararse para evacuar después del temblor o terremoto.
Los participantes tienen oportunidad de ganar una o dos tarjetas de regalo de $100 simplemente por completar y devolver el cuestionario.

CERT Training - REGISTRATION CLOSED
REGISTRATION CLOSED!
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during CERT exercises, members can assist their community or workplace following an emergency event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.
Click HERE to read an article from the Tillamook Headlight Herald about how a CERT trained resource used the skills they learned becoming a CERT to help save a co-workers life. The skills you will learn can save lives.
Here’s a quote from the CERT that was at the event:
There was a medical incident at my place of work, and my coworkers and I needed to offer lifesaving assistance to a coworker. I was able to perform CPR on my coworker until help arrived and assisted with using our in-office AED. Our efforts, along with the amazing first responders and ER doctors, ended up saving our coworker and he is still a coworker today.
I am absolutely positive that my recent training with CERT assisted me in those moments. I was able to remain calm, realize that I had tools to help my coworker, and ultimately helped save his life, likely because of your training and CERT. Thank you so much for offering this program to the public. You already know it saves lives, but I wanted to let you know that it specifically helped me save a life of a father, son, and husband.
The course is FREE (you will need to pay for your own CERT equipment, which we will order) and you will receive a CERT manual.
This is the complete CERT training- You are signing up to attend ALL 4 of the following meetings:
August 6, 6-8 PM at Nehalem Fire Station, 36375 Hwy 101, Nehalem
August 10, 9 AM to 3:30PM

Assembly Areas Drill
EVCNB is going to run an Assembly Area drill in all three of the Nehalem Bay cities so members of the public know how to reach the assembly area nearest to them.
We want to have lots of people involved in this drill — the more people who participate the better! There will be at least one CERT member at each of the 4 different locations who will act as the location lead and work to organize the site.
You are more likely to DO what you PRACTICE!
Be prepared and let's practice how we're going to behave in the event of a Cascadia earthquake.
