| 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
Collins View has an active Neighborhood Emergency Team (a.k.a. NET) of about 40 members. Neighborhood Emergency Teams are Portland residents trained by the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management (PBEM) and Portland Fire & Rescue to provide emergency disaster assistance within their own neighborhoods. Working in tandem with our sister teams from Marshall Park, Riverdale, and West Portland Park, we learn to prepare ourselves and our neighbors to be ready for and respond to emergencies. While the primary focus of the NET program is preparation for a subduction zone earthquake, our service has extended to responses during ice storms, fire evacuations, downed power lines, traffic control during emergency events, and many other situations that will benefit from neighbors helping neighbors.
During a protracted emergency, such as a major earthquake, Collins View NET will set up a Central Staging Area to coordinate our team response. The staging area is in the parking lot of Riverdale High School, 9727 SW Terwilliger.
The Collins View NET Team Leader is Brenda Nuckton. You can reach her at cv.net.teamleader@gmail.com, and she will be happy to provide more information about the NET program.
