COAD – Community Organizations Active in Disaster
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011
If you are interested in the Sandy Area COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disaster), meetings are held on the 3rd Friday of each month at 1130 (brown bag lunch style) in the Sandy Fire Annex. We welcome you to attend (RSVPing is nice but not necessary).
Last Month’s meeting was the first as we transition into our focus of Mitigating and Preparing for Disasters as well as taking steps to create a Recovery Plan.
Mark Your calendars for upcoming events:
March 1st Webinar Getting Active in Emergency Preparedness. Topics of trainings include (but are not limited to): Business Continuity, Emergency Preparedness, Know Your Neighborhood, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Community Building, Re-Skilling, Leadership – you name it… We can tailor to your group’s schedule and interests.
March 19th from 1000 – 1200 at Hollyview Church.
We will be kicking off our Resource Questionnaire workshops. RSVP and we will work with Pastor Erb to make sure we have plenty of snacks and chairs.
These workshops are designed to determine what specific resources we have in our local area and to help inform churches, granges, civic/humanitarian organizations – of the opportunities to become more actively involved in disaster mitigation and resiliency efforts locally. We met with Boring Fire, Sandy Fire, City of Sandy and the City of Damascus to determine which facilities to prioritize (one of our goals is to determine facilities interested in serving as potential emergency shelters). We will be starting with Hollyview as Paster Erb is proactive and a willing guinea pig. Our other two main churches who have stepped forward to assist with Disaster preparedness (Good Shepherd and Damascus Community) have already become Red Cross Shelter sites.
April 9th from 0900-1200 at Cedar Ridge – Harvest of Services!
Harvest of Services – this is our first year to attempt this type of event and we are hoping to gather not only service providers but citizens who are interested in utilizing these services. We are hoping to encourage all organizations who provide services to children, families and the elders of our community to come for a short time and ‘table’ with information about their programs. If you have any questions, please feel free to call (971-563-3051) and if you know of a service in the Sandy, Boring, Eagle Creek, Welches, Damascus Area – that would be interested in ‘getting the word out’ about what they do, or if they are looking for volunteers – OR looking for projects to support – this will be an excellent FREE opportunity to do so. We would love to hear from you about this event – and if you are interested in helping us organize it, just let us know!
May 14th! Shelter Training class will be held at Good Shepherd (flyer coming soon, this will be an all day class)!
June 19th at Mt Hood Community College
Moulage Class – learn how to create realistic injuries and help train emergency responders. We will also be hosting a ‘practical skills exercise’ for our Community Emergency Response Team folks – they will be practicing triage (on the newly moulaged ‘victims’) and other skill stations.
July 9th and 10th – Mountain Festival Safety Booth
The Fire Department will be doing a First Aid/Blood Pressure Check – Fire and Life Safety booth – with Trauma Intervention Programs during the Mt Festival. If your organization is doing something related to Disaster mitigation, preparedness, response or recovery – OR – related to Fire and/or Life Safety – we have room for you! All injury prevention partners are encouraged to participate – it is SUPER FUN.
September 11th – Boring Park Celebration AND the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 – which we will host a Community Breakfast Potluck
This event is still in the planning phase – but we would love your participation. The concept is to bring the community together (0730 – 0930) prior to the Boring Park Celebration, and have a breakfast potluck to remember the community spirit that occurred immediately following the horrific events of 9/11. To recognize that citizens helped one another down the stairs, comforted each other and that the country came together to support each other. This event will focus not on police and fire – but on the vast majority of first responders that day ‘citizens’. If you are interested in being part of the planning team for this event, let me know.
We had an excellent meeting last Friday and we are looking forward to seeing everyone on March 18th!
If you have any questions or would like to RSVP for any of the events please feel free to contact me.
