Get Ready	Visit PublicAlerts.org to learn and prepare yourself for local emergencies.
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 Collins View Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) welcomes anyone interested in emergency preparedness, regardless of whether they have completed NET training. Our neighborhood and our city need you. First and foremost, prepare your family and loved ones. Next, help prepare your neighbors. Visit the Get Ready page of this website to learn how.

The potential consequences of a devastating Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake off the Oregon Coast are a major part of our preparations, orientation, and training. But we are also in close coordination with the City’s police and fire services to help with more local emergencies like weather, fire, floods, landslides and other such threats to life and property.

For more information about us and our team’s plan to survey all residences in Collins View after any big emergency, please check the maps in our Structured Neighborhood Assessment Plan (SNAP) at collinsview.org/NET.
