Oregon Prepared! Workshop brings Together Emergency Management Community
This week emergency managers from across the state are convening at Central Oregon's Kah Nee Ta Resort for Oregon Prepared! A four-day workshop covering all things emergency management.
Wednesday's agenda covered a wide spectrum of topics from a review of the federal emergency alert system to Oregon military support during a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake to resources available through 211 Info and stress first aid.
"It's so important to come together with other state, county and local first responders to exchange information and ideas, and build a network of resources," said Nathan Garibay, emergency manager for Deschutes County.
Thursday's schedule looks at state public/private partnerships for resilience, cyber security, and a health and medical hazards outlook.
The third annual workshop is presented by the Oregon Office of Emergency Management in partnership with the Oregon Health Authority. It brings together city, county, Tribal, state and federal partners from the emergency management community.
