防災準備ミーティング 9月15日(金)6:30-8:30
Have natural disasters like wildfires and hurricanes got you thinking more about your own level of emergency preparedness? Emergencies can catch anyone off guard but the more you know about a potential hazard the better you can be at preparing for it. Experts agree that the Pacific Northwest is due for a massive subduction zone earthquake. We can expect power outages, no phone service, and no clean water. Our roads and bridges will be impassable. Just as we saw with Hurricane Harvey, our first responders and government agencies will be overwhelmed at first. Past events suggest that most people in need of help will be rescued by their neighbors and that the best way for communities to develop resiliency is to be prepared.
WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW? Get to know your neighbors; talk about earthquake preparedness; practice earthquake drills with your kids; make a household communication plan.Involving your family and friends in preparedness is one way to make the idea of an emergency like an earthquake less scary. Visit our website http://www.richmondptapdx.com/ for Five Simple Steps to Preparedness (geared for families with school aged kids) that you can get everyone involved in. Even taking a few simple steps toward earthquake preparedness can help you weather other emergencies such as power outages, ice storms and more.
WANT TO KNOW MORE? The Richmond and Sunnyside PTA Emergency Preparedness Committees are teaming up to bring you guest speakers from PCC and Multnomah County to guide you through what to expect in a large earthquake and how to prepare. Invite your friends and neighbors. We’re all in this together. Childcare will be available. Friday September 15th, 6:30-8:30 PM, Richmond Elementary School 2276 SE 41st Ave.
GUEST SPEAKERS:
Chris Voss – Multnomah County Office of Emergency Management
Laura Hall – Portland Community College, Parents for Preparedness
In addition, we will be taking orders for a bulk purchase of pre-used, rinsed, food-grade 55-gallon emergency water storage barrels ($30 each) to be delivered to Richmond in late October (home delivery available for an additional $5).
We hope you can join us on the 15th to learn about the need to be prepared and what you can do to prepare at home, school, work, and in your neighborhood.

山火事やハリケーンのような自然災害を目の当たりにし、自分がどこまで緊急時に対応できるか疑問に思っていませんか？このエリアでも近々大地震がくるとされています。停電、断水、電話の不通などが予測されます。道路が寸断され、橋も渡れなくなるでしょう。ハリケーン・ハービーの時のように、災害救助隊や政府はすべてに手が回りません。過去の事例からすると、このような場合に救助で活躍するのは近所の人々です。
さあ、あなたには何ができるでしょう？近所の人と知り合いになりましょう。地震が起こった時の対応について話し合いましょう。子供たちと避難訓練をしましょう。緊急時に連絡が取れる人を学校の近くに見つけておきましょう。家族間の連絡プランを考えておきましょう。
もっと詳しく知りたいですか？PTAの防災準備委員会は、あなたと家族、地域、学校の防災準備を手助けするために、いくつかのイベントを実施する予定です。まずは、PCCとマルトノマ郡からのゲストスピーカーを招き、9/15にリッチモンドのカフェテリアでミーティングが開催されます。チャイルドケアもありますので、ふるってご参加ください。
