Portland NET is the City of Portland's equivalent of a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. In CPT's portfolio, it is also the largest program (with approximately 1,300 volunteers in July 2025) and the oldest (founded in 1994). Neighborhood Emergency Teams are Portland residents trained by PBEM and Portland Fire & Rescue to provide emergency disaster assistance within their own neighborhoods. | |||

BEECN is an earthquake response communications program, powered by volunteers, and founded in 2012. A BEECN is a temporary radio communications site staffed by at least two volunteers after a major earthquake that takes down phone lines. BEECNs are places to report severe damage or injury or ask for emergency assistance. | |||
=== Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) === | |||
Portland's COAD was formed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Spring of 2020. COAD is a national model that brings together community organizations under four principles: Communication, Cooperation, Coordination and Collaboration. Each organization acts independently and retains full autonomy and authority in how they serve their communities. | |||
