SUMMARY HERE

...

...

This after action report (AAR) focuses on the response of Portland’s Neighborhood Emergency Team (“NET”) volunteers and community organizations in the Portland Community Organizations Active in Disaster network (“PDX COAD”). The primary audience for this AAR includes NET volunteers, NET Team Leaders, PBEM Program Managers, and COAD member organizations.

...

AAR Definitions and Acronyms

In addition to the usual complement of government acronyms, we present a few important distinctions between cooling facilities:

• Cooling Center: A type of Disaster Resource Center with air conditioning, cooling resources, water, food, and support services. These locations operate during the hottest part of the day only.
• Cooling Shelter: A type of Disaster Resource Center with air conditioning, cooling resources, water, food, and support services. These locations are similar to Cooling Centers, but operate for 24-hours. This resource is particularly important when overnight temperatures do not allow people to cool down enough.
• Cooling Space: An air-conditioned space open to the public with water often available. These spaces are open during the hottest part of the day only and do not operate for 24 hours. Community partners, such as houses of worship, may operate Cooling Spaces. Multnomah County libraries also served as cooling spaces.
• Cooling Resources: Items like water, cooling towels, electrolytes, misters and fans, and supports such as transportation to Cooling Shelters and Centers to help someone get cool or stay cool.

Other key terms used in this AAR include:

• CBOs: Community Based Organizations; usually mentioned in the context of the COAD.
• COAD (or PDX COAD): Community Organizations Active in Disaster. A network of community and faith based organizations that address disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
• IAP: Incident Action Plan. A documented response strategy to an emergency incident.
• JOHS: Joint Office of Homeless Services, the lead local government agency for addressing homelessness.
• JVIC: A network of CBOs separate from the COAD, but mobilized during the COVID response.
• NET: Portland Neighborhood Emergency Teams.
• NWS: National Weather Service.
• PBEM: Portland Bureau of Emergency Management.
• SUV: Spontaneous unaffiliated volunteer; often used when describing emergent volunteers from the general public.

Summer 2021 volunteer responses included three major heat events: *******

Assets and Capabilities

Portland Neighborhood Emergency Teams (Portland NET)

Portland NET is the largest volunteer Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program by membership in the Portland Metro Area, with 2,105 active volunteers and over 29,000 volunteer hours contributed in 2020. The Portland Bureau of Emergency Management (PBEM) manages NET, with selected PBEM staff assigned to oversee NET deployments. PBEM and NET aim to serve the community with a trauma informed perspective and lead responses with equity and inclusion first.

The depth of Portland NET’s bench of volunteers is key to its operational capacity. Not only does having a large pool of volunteers to draw from mean that NET can fill hundreds of volunteer shifts in a deployment (including overnight shifts), but also provide the deployment with a diversity of relevant expertise. For example, volunteer skill and knowledge of disaster psychology, public outreach, administration, and mental health crisis de-escalation all played critical roles in inclement weather response. For example, in one cooling center deployment, the specific help of Spanish-speaking volunteers with de-escalation training was needed.

Portland Communities Active in Disaster (PDX COAD)

PDX COAD is a relatively new and growing PBEM program. The COAD constitutes a PBEM-faciliated network of local community and faith based organizations (CBOs). The PBEM COAD Coordinator provides disaster preparation information and supports CBOs in disaster response roles and operations. At the time of the June heatwave, the COAD consisted of around 60 organizations.

The COAD Coordinator relayed important heat illness prevention information to the CBOs to pass on to their constituencies. Several CBOs also volunteered to take a response role by opening their own neighborhood-local cooling centers.

June 2021 Heat Dome in Portland (OERS 2021-1650)

Hot times in Lents: Dr. Vivek Shandas gets a read of the sidewalk.

From June 25 to 29, a heat dome parked itself over the Portland metropolitan area and obliterated temperature records all over the Pacific Northwest. Portland experienced three consecutive days of abnormally high heat reaching 108, 112, and 116 degrees. Dr. Vivek Shandas with Portland State University recorded a sidewalk surface temperature at SE Woodstock and 92nd Avenue that hit 180 degrees, high enough for third degree burns at direct skin contact.

As of December 1, 2021, the County Medical Examiner confirmed 73 heat related deaths in Multnomah County from the June heatwave. Previously, between 2010 and June 2021, Multnomah County ever recorded only two heat illness (hyperthermia) deaths. Combining the 73 with deaths elsewhere in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and British Columbia, the heat dome led to the deaths of approximately 500 people. Most of the persons who died were older, white, and socially isolated or lived alone and without central air conditioning. Their deaths were preventable.

...

June heatwave dates and temperatures.

...

Emergency managers in the region mobilized for heatwave preparations only three days before June 25. Since more preparation lead time can improve response capacity, it is worth noting factors that possibly contributed to curtailed lead time in June:

• Regional response inexperience with temperature extremes at this level. For example, at the time, PBEM did not have Operational Guidelines in place for an event like the June heat dome.
  

  Daily maximum temperatures in Portland, 1938 - 2021. The three isolated points above the fray represent June 26 - 28, 2021. Click to enlarge.
• Conservative weather forecasts leading up to the heat event. A June 21 NWS weather briefing indicated a high confidence forecast of temperatures above 90° starting June 25 with a 50% chance of temperatures hitting 100° that weekend. Concerning, but not highly alarming. Email traffic at PBEM confirms professionals in the region took the prospective heat seriously and worked to plan for it; but until June 22, some doubts remained Portland would reach temperatures over 100° that weekend. Solid indications from NWS that temperatures would exceed 100° on Sunday and Monday in addition to Friday and Saturday do not appear in email traffic until the morning of June 23. Even on the days that followed, the forecasted hottest day and temperatures changed.
• A community safety net already stretched and frayed by COVID-19. The pandemic has led to increased social isolation (a factor in heat illness deaths) and houselessness.
• A possible boil water notice looming over much of the west coast. Regional emergency managers were planning for a prospective interruption of the supply of sodium hypochlorite. Utilities use sodium hypochlorite to disinfect drinking water and wastewater. An equipment failure at a chlorine manufacturer in Longview resulted in a shortage of the disinfectant impacting the entire west coast. From June 14 to 28, utilities and emergency managers braced for the possibility of running out. That did not happen. But the implications of a short chlorine supply were serious: it could mean asking Portlanders to curtail water use and possibly a regional boil water notice. This incident held the attention and resources of emergency managers right up to the June heatwave.

In other words, the June heat dome was a growing emergency inside matryoshka dolls of emergencies.

PBEM moved the ECC into partial activation on June 23. That day, the COAD Coordinator began mobilizing community outreach efforts via PDX COAD on June 23, sending warnings and instructions to partner CBOs and calling some of them individually to check in. In a meeting the next day, Multnomah County decided to open two cooling centers beginning on Friday, June 25: the Oregon Convention Center and Sunrise Center (and later added the Arbor Lodge Shelter). A bulletin to NETs that day put them on standby for volunteering, but online shift signups were not available for sending to NETs until 11:00 the next day (June 24). Multnomah County Emergency Management took responsibility for the online signups, but posted eight hour shifts instead of the four hour shifts customarily offered to volunteers. The short notice combined with the long shifts later factored into low volunteer availability. On June 25, Portland’s Chief Administrator’s Office requested help from City employees to fill shift gaps.

Throughout the heatwave, staffing needs at cooling centers changed as the City and County expanded cooling center operating hours. The shift additions, though essential, necessitated repeated requests to volunteers for staffing many times in the midst of the emergency.

On June 24, Multnomah County requested assistance from the City reaching out to residents at apartment buildings by phone; Maybelle Center for Community made a similar request the same day to the COAD Coordinator. NET Coordinators posted an electronic signup to recruit phone welfare check volunteers late the following evening.

Portland NET and COAD responded throughout the heatwave, and through the demobilization of cooling centers on July 2.

Volunteer Recruitment: June Communications Timeline

The volunteer signup service used by PBEM and Multnomah County time stamps every volunteer signup. This data can be placed on a timeline with the date/time PBEM sends volunteer recruitment communications (email or social media post). The table below indicates when, to who, and how government contacts released volunteer recruitment and COAD messaging. The magenta numbers in the left table column correspond to the graph on the right margin. The comparison makes the most sense side by side; so, for those interested in this data, we recommend clicking and opening the graph in a separate window and scanning down the table to note which messages were most effective recruiting volunteers.

Is this information useful? Probable answer is: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But it is interesting! If nothing else, the graph demonstrates the importance of the first flush of communications for recruitments, since that is the communication which will garner the most volunteers.

June 2021 Heat Dome NET Response

The deployment period ran from 06/25 until 07/02, with volunteers needed primarily to staff cooling centers. The response required 718 shifts spread over 5,639 volunteer hours (of which 74% were filled).  Of that number, 81 NETs volunteered for 121 shifts and contributed 920 hours. NETs volunteered at Arbor Lodge, Alder Commons, and the Oregon Convention Center. Additionally, they assisted at the JOHS Logistics Center. Misting stations were not yet included in the response strategy.

According to preliminary County data, the Cooling Shelters served around 1,400 overnight guests over the course the June heat event.

June 2021 Volunteer Response Outcomes

The map above next page indicates the locations of NET volunteer service, as well as guest headcounts.

The COAD Coordinator sent four safety alert messages to member CBOs from Wednesday to Sunday with heat safety messaging, social media graphics, print and post flyers, resources in eight languages, and action items for CBOs to respond to. The COAD Coordinator also facilitated supply drops (consisting of water, cooling towels, and other items) to mutual aid groups and six low-income residential buildings.

NET volunteers phoned 211 vulnerable contacts with heat safety tips, cooling center information, and connections to rides to cooling centers. Some of these contacts were provided by Multnomah County, but COAD partners provided most of the information.

July 2021 Heatwave in Portland (OERS 2021-1996)

Though Multnomah County and the City of Portland deployed volunteers for the July 29 - 31 heatwave, the severity of the weather event did not reach extremes seen in the prior or following months. Initial notifications from NWS about oncoming high temperatures arrived July 23. Subsequent NWS forecasts did not improve the outlook, with forecast temperatures over 100° for July 29.

Multnomah County’s EOC and the City of Portland ECC entered Enhanced Operations in response on July 27. Concurrently, PBEM’s COAD Coordinator disseminated heat information to the COAD network of organizations. Later that evening, PBEM’s Director confirmed City of Portland plans to open three cooling spaces, with operating hours from 12:00 to 21:00, at the Portland Building, Matt Dishman Community Center, and Charles Jordan Community Center.

By July 28, JOHS had prepared 2,000 cooling kits including electrolytes, misting bottles, refillable water bottles, and cooling towels for distribution. PBEM sent recruitment messages to NETs via Everbridge and email around 13:45, followed by recruitment requests to City employees around 15:30.

August Heatwave in Portland (OERS 2021-2089)

The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a weather briefing on Thursday, August 5 forecasting a heat wave due in the Portland Metro area on August 10, the following Tuesday. Concerns for air quality, owing to forest fires in the Pacific Northwest, accompanied extreme heat projections. The NWS predicted Heat Risk for the Multnomah County area at “yellow” through August 9, and increase to mostly “orange” (with small areas of “yellow” and “red”) on August 10. NWS forecast all “red” for August 11 and 12. By Monday, NWS indicated there would be little overnight cooling during the heatwave.

August heatwave dates and temperatures.

In response, the PBEM NET Coordinators immediately placed NET volunteers on standby to volunteer at misting stations and cooling shelters and began drafting Form 204s (position descriptions) for the volunteer positions. NET Coordinators established electronic volunteer signup pages by August 7 and forwarded to NETs for serving in JOHS Logistics, phone welfare checks, three misting stations, and four cooling centers (the Portland Building, St. Johns, Arbor Lodge, and the Charles Jordan Community Center). Multnomah County staffed one other without assistance from Portland: Sunrise Church, staffed and operated by a contractor. The County also later opened the Kellogg School as a cooling center later in the incident and NET volunteers helped there.

On August 6, the COAD Coordinator informed partner organizations and scheduled informational presentations to help them prepare and respond. PBEM moved into Enhanced Operations on that same day and hosted daily bureau emergency operations coordination calls starting August 9. The City of Portland and Multnomah County formed a Unified Command and activated a combined emergency operations center (EOC) on August 9.

Unified Command decided in their first incident action plan (IAP) to send out volunteer staffing requests to City and County staff, and to have cooling centers open by August 11. Incident commanders placed community outreach, Portland NET, and the COAD under Operations branch.

August 2021 Volunteer Response Outcomes

Volunteer response shifts for the August heatwave ran August 9 to August 15. Though less severe than the June heatwave, lessons learned from June and July prompted a more comprehensive response in August with 910 volunteer shifts posted (5,052 hours). Shifts were spread over 15 sites, including JOHS Logistics, cooling centers and shelters, and misting stations. Volunteers signed up for 4,031 hours (80% of requested).

Because of the need for volunteers, PBEM and the County went beyond recruiting from NET, COAD, city and county employees. Volunteers were recruited from the Cascades Chapter of the Red Cross, Portland NextDoor subscribers, and NET applicants. NextDoor metrics suggest the recruitment message sent through NextDoor (on 08/10) went to 274,000 recipients, but only 9,600 recipients opened the message and did not lead to a spike in signups until later in the day. NextDoor could provide a means to recruit in future events, but the low response in this instance was surprising.

NET volunteers accepted 121 shifts to contribute 476 hours (9.4% of the response). For a full accounting and breakdown of volunteer shifts and hours, please view the August Appendix.

Outcomes

Resources distributed thus far by JOHS and their partners include the following:

• 48,360 individual bottles of water
• 1,603 gallon jugs of water
• 760 misting bottles
• 580 refillable drinking bottles
• 2,962 cooling towels
• 6,300 electrolyte packets.
• 13,890 KN95 masks
