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

The Rose City Park Neighborhood Emergency Team (RCP NET) serves our neighborhood and the city of Portland through emergency response, community building, and civic events.

Collaboration with all members of our neighborhood is essential to making Rose City Park more prepared and resilient in the face of natural disasters and other emergencies. All RCP NET meetings are open to the public and we welcome participation from residents of all neighborhoods. Through our monthly meetings and scheduled exercises we help each other develop and maintain essential skills like: 

  • Search & Rescue
  • Medical Triage
  • Patient Assessment
  • First Aid
  • Radio Communication
  • Knot Tying
  • Water Purification and Storage

Even if you aren’t ready to enroll in the city’s program of training and service, you can join the RCP NET and be of service to your neighborhood while developing skills to improve your personal preparedness.
