| Get Involved | Support your neighborhood by volunteering to be a Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) member. During a citywide or regional emergency such as a severe winter storm, flood, or major earthquake, volunteer neighborhood rescuers will likely be first on-the-scene when firefighters and police are slowed by impassable streets or overwhelmed by calls for help. |
Overview
There are a number of particularly challenging hazards in the Linnton neighborhood. Most notably, 90% of Oregon’s fuel passes through gas storage tanks that reside in Linnton – on liquefiable soil. Our Neighborhood Emergency Team needs everyone to participate in making our community more resilient. We of course want individuals to prepare themselves, but we also want everyone working together with their neighbors to make plans, strengthen bonds, and generally make this a safer place to live. We are here to help you with that. Please contact us with questions, and attend our meetings! You don’t need to be a trained NET member to get involved.
Sign up to be a point person for your block. We’ll be in touch to work out a plan for communicating with our team after a disaster.
