== PBEM's Work and Organization == | |||
Over the years, PBEM has invested time and resources in three primary mission areas: | |||
* '''Planning:''' Expand and maintain a complete suite of disaster mitigation, response, and recovery plans. This mission area also includes collaborating with other City bureaus on [https://www.oregon.gov/oem/emresources/plans_assessments/coop/pages/default.aspx Continuity of Operations Plans] (COOP), which describes how individual bureaus will get services to Portlanders back on line after a major disruption or disaster. | |||
* '''Operations:''' Advance readiness of Portland's [[PBEM Emergency Operations Center (EOC)|Emergency Operations Center]] (EOC). PBEM staff are responsible for maintaining the EOC and ensuring it is ready to activate at a moment's notice. This mission area also includes the Duty Officer program. PBEM Duty Officers are trained to activate the EOC for major emergencies and planned events. Duty Officers also monitor major emergency incidents and coordinate information sharing and operations between bureaus and Portland elected officials. | |||
* '''Community Programming:''' Aims to inspire a culture of disaster resilience and preparedness. This mission area includes promoting a whole community approach to preparedness and integrating emergency management into broader community-oriented goals (such as disaster hubs). This mission area is managed by PBEM's Community Preparedness Team. | |||
