PBEM debuted the PocketPreps on [https://hcpaw.portlandoregon.gov/u/4ZGwIwgRsBnzkbAg/bec44c07-5de9-487c-949e-bee668d20373?l August 18, 2019]. After a few months of design work and stakeholder vetting/feedback, PBEM ordered the first print run (partially funded by the UASI 16 grant) in May 2019, for August delivery. The initial run proved popular and prompted a second run in March 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic effectively shut down opportunities to distribute PocketPrep from March 2020 to 2022. PBEM wouldn't order another run until August 2023 (also funded by a UASI grant). It was this third print run that debuted PocketPrep in Spanish. In early 2023, the text of the PocketPrep was translated into Vietnamese and Simplified Chinese as well. However, PBEM has so far been unable to fund a print run of PocketPreps in those languages. | PBEM debuted the PocketPreps on [https://hcpaw.portlandoregon.gov/u/4ZGwIwgRsBnzkbAg/bec44c07-5de9-487c-949e-bee668d20373?l August 18, 2019].

<br/> | Even though PBEM has not received formal awards for PocketPrep's design, Z-CARD America (the printer) uses them as part of their marketing campaigns as an example of how their product can help raise awareness of disaster preparedness.<br /> | ||
