EVERYDAY PREPAREDNESS
Oregon has faced floods, drought, wildfires, ice storms, extreme heat, and other major emergencies in recent years. These events are a good reminder that preparedness can make a real difference.
The Oregon Department of Emergency Management encourages households to Be 2 Weeks Ready. That means having a plan and enough food, water, medications, and other essential supplies to care for everyone in your household for at least two weeks after a disaster.
You do not have to build everything at once. The Be 2 Weeks Ready program is designed to help you start with what you already have and improve your preparedness step by step, making it easier to build household self-reliance and a stronger, more prepared community.
👉🏻Oregon HazVu: Statewide Geohazards Viewer
HazVu is an interactive map from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries that helps you understand which geologic hazards may affect a specific place in Oregon. Enter an address for your home, school, business, or another location to explore nearby hazards and create a map you can print or save.
HazVu includes information on hazards such as flooding, Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake shaking and tsunami, coastal erosion, active faults, liquefaction and soft soils, landslides, volcanic hazards, and more. It also shows important public facilities, including schools, fire and police stations, hospitals, and some state-owned buildings, with links to seismic assessment information where available.
👉🏻ASPCA Pet Disaster Kit Checklist
Your emergency plan needs to include every member of your household, including your pets. Disasters can make it hard to find food, medications, carriers, leashes, records, or a safe place to stay, especially if you have to leave quickly. Keep a pet emergency kit with food, water, medications, identification, vaccination records, basic supplies, and a secure way to transport each animal. Planning ahead also means knowing where you could take your pets if you need to evacuate, since not every shelter or temporary lodging option accepts animals. The ASPCA’s pet disaster checklist is a good place to start.

The plan is divided into seven Recovery Support Functions, each with its own annex that explains roles, responsibilities, and actions in more detail.
