=== OK/HELP Signs === | |||
The use case/intent with these signs is that they be distributed to residences. Following an earthquake or other disaster, someone in the home would place one of these signs in a window as a sign to search and rescue teams that help is needed or not needed. | |||
PBEM discontinued print runs of this sign because of cost, and because their use case was illogical and possibly dangerous. For example, what if someone posted the "OK" sign immediately after an earthquake but was severely injured in an aftershock? Incoming disaster responders from around the country are also not trained or informed of their use; a rescuer brought in from another state probably wouldn't even realize that a "HELP" or "OK" sign had anything to do with the aftermath of a disaster. Multnomah County occasionally stocks these signs still, but PBEM does not. | |||
'''Specifications:''' Print front and back. Finishing size is 11" x 8 ½". Original print runs were on a plastic coated card stock (not sure what exactly). [https://hcpaw.portlandoregon.gov/u/oZWamUgVmsizlZqa/7690bf61-26df-4ac3-a73d-41b50034c117?l DOWNLOAD]. | |||
