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. | PBEM discontinued print runs of this sign because of cost, and because their use case was illogical and possibly dangerous.
