City of Portland turns full prepper

[Sgt Nambu]

Makes ya wonder how much they paid to the Mayor's, wife's, cousin's, lawyer's, mom to "research" the list?

No wife, Portland's mayor bats for the other team.

3. Build a Kit
Being prepared means being equipped with the proper
supplies you may need in the event of an emergency or
disaster. Keep your supplies in an easy-to-carry emergency
preparedness kit that you can use at home or take with you
if you evacuate. start with these items:
£
Water—one gallon per person per day for a
minimum
of three days*
£
Food—items that don't need to be refrigerated or cooked
(e.g., peanut butter, canned meats, energy bars, canned
fruits and vegetables, etc.)
£
First aid kit—include any prescription and over-the-
counter medications (see p. 7 for more information)
Additional supplies*
£
Flashlight (battery or alternative-powered)
£
Radio (battery or alternative-powered)
£
extra batteries
£
solar charger
£
copies of important documents
£
Family contact information and copy of family's
emergency plan
£
cash—small denominations, such as $1 or $5
£
Pet supplies
£
Hygiene items such as toothbrush, toothpaste,
soap, etc.
£
Multi-purpose tool and work gloves
£
comfort items, such as toys, games, family photos, etc.

Vehicle and work supplies (keep in plastic tub or
other container with a lid)

Your personal kit should contain a minimum of three days* of
supplies for one person in a bag or backpack. Keep a kit at
home, one in your car and one at work. Your family kit should
contain two weeks of supplies for the entire family in a sturdy
container. Keep at home. Review your supplies every six
months. Replace any items nearing expiration dates.
Assemble your own kit or buy one at
www.redcrossstore.org
.
"By the bed" mini-kit
Keep a sturdy pair of shoes, a flashlight and an extra pair of
glasses (if you wear them) in a bag attached to the foot of
your headboard. if an emergency strikes at night, you'll be
able to walk across debris and see where you're going.
*NOTE: While the Red Cross recommends preparing
for a minimum of three days, every disaster is
different and some situations may result in being cut
off from resources for two weeks or longer.
Understand your risks and plan accordingly.

After
£
Have injuries treated by a medical professional. Wash
small wounds with soap and water. To help prevent
infection of small wounds, use bandages and replace
them if they become soiled, damaged or waterlogged.
£
Remain calm. Pace yourself. You may find yourself in the
position of taking charge of other people. Listen
carefully to what people are telling you, and deal
patiently with urgent situations first.
£
Check with the fire department to make sure your
residence is safe to enter.
£
Anyone entering your damaged home should wear long
pants, a long-sleeved shirt, closed-toed rubber-soled
shoes or boots and work gloves, plus dust masks, safety
goggles and/or a hard hat when necessary.
Wildfire
Did you know that a wildfire moves at speeds of up to 14
miles an hour?
Oregon and Washington are prone to deadly wildfires. Droughts and dry conditions
throughout the year increase wildfire risk. careless use of fire in highly wooded areas can
also dramatically increase the chance of a wildfire, which can then quickly spread across
trees and dry brush and threaten homes and businesses that are in the vicinity.
Before
£
Learn about the wildfire risks in your area.
£
Make a plan (see p. 5) and build a kit (see p. 6).
£
Make sure driveway entrances and your house number
or address are clearly marked so fire vehicles can get to
your home.
£
identify and maintain an adequate water source
outside your home, such as small pond, cistern, well or
swimming pool.
£
Set aside household items that can be used as fire tools:
a rake, ax, handsaw or chainsaw, bucket and shovel.
£
Select building materials and plants that resist fire.
£
Regularly clean roofs and gutters.
£
Keep a garden hose that is long enough to reach any
area of the home and other structures on the property.
£
install freeze-proof exterior water outlets on at least two
sides of the home and near other structures or property.
During
£
Be ready to leave at a moment's notice.
£
Listen to local radio and television stations for updated
emergency information.
£
check emergency kit and replenish any items missing or
in short supply. Keep nearby.
£
Arrange for temporary housing at a friend or relative's
home outside the threatened area.
£
Back your car into your garage for easier evacuation.
£
Confine pets to one room so you can find them if you
need to evacuate quickly.
£
Listen and watch for air quality reports and health
warnings about smoke.
£
Keep indoor air clean by closing windows and doors to
prevent outside smoke from getting in.
£
use the recycle or recirculate mode on the air
conditioner in your home or car.
£
When smoke levels are high, do not use anything that
burns or adds to indoor air pollution, such as candles,
fireplaces and gas stoves. Avoid vacuuming.
£
if you have asthma or another lung disease, follow your
health care provider's advice.
£
Dress to protect yourself; wear cotton/woolen clothing
including long-sleeve shirts, long pants and gloves.
If outdoors
£
if you are trapped, crouch in a pond, river or pool.
£
don't put wet clothing or bandanas over your nose
or mouth.
After
£
Let friends and family know you're safe.
£
Do not enter your home until fire officials say it's safe.

may still exist, including hot spots, that can flare up
without warning.

Avoid damaged or fallen power lines, poles and
downed wires.
£
Watch for ash pits and mark them for safety."

Wouldn't the cell towers fail if all these preps are needed? Like carry soap in the get home bag so you can stop at the gym on the hike home and shower!!!

For god sake they didn't put a gun and ammo on the list!!!!!!!!!

They didn't need to. The things that worries me about Portland are (1) population density, (2) homeless population, (3) hippie culture and (4) humongous sales of pistols, particularly pocket guns. The volume of sales is through the roof with idiots Like Keith's Sporting Goods, etc., who make a WHOLE 10% profit per gun. Brilliant business model.

That Portland survey doesn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy, with all the GDP (Generally Dumb Public) refugees coming here from everywhere else in the country. In all my analysis (I even wrote a novel which takes place in a post-collapse Portland), without resolution after a week or two, Portland turns into a human grocery store.

Have a nice day.

Not to start a controversy but there isn't a dang thing about Portland that makes me feel warm and fuzzy from the homeless population to the governing members, which is why I want a gun and ammo!
