Also, if you're in Portland, look into the "NET" (Neighborhood Emergency Team) program: <broken link removed>, a government-sponsored program to get people prepared for emergency situations. Taking the training does not commit you to doing anything. It is a pure volunteer program. (The idea being that you would voluntarily help your immediate neighborhood; not that you would be "called up" National Guard-style.)
Unfortunatly NET seems to be either unfunded or nolonger in use. The Forum hasnt had a recent post since March 2011 and they have NO training scheduled or recent classes posted for months. Its a shame.
Well, seeing as no one's claimed the Rogue Valley yet...
*plants flag* I call dibs...
Though, I do know there's a couple of us here, of which i've met a couple (and would love to have them on my side rather than be opposed to them) but you know, we're all shy down here. *returns to his bunker built by the mole people*

I'm currently working on trying to get my wife to think about being prepared. At the moment, I can't even get her to see the validity of having an extra bag or two of pet food just in case. We actually just got into an argument about it a few minutes ago, lol. At this point, I've been just getting the extra supplies and stockpiling them on my own, without her. She sure wasn't complaining when we lost power and I pulled out the camp stove and lanterns and all the "normal" stuff I have laying around. We were cooking up what we had in the fridge and she was quite happy with my stove top coffee maker, lol. Anywho....off to Costco we go to get some more things for the house!
Here is an idea. When she or you go shopping "covertly" buy extra "sale" items. That way you can stock up for a rainy day! The result will be that you will be better prepared when SHTF. The missing items you can buy on your own.
We are not that private. Some of us are just afraid that as soon as we get a group together Home land security will sneak in and put use on their watch list. I and my friends stay in our little group it is safer that way. After The ATF shared list of gun owners that they had compiled from their watch list after Hurricane Katrina for gun confiscating we are gun shy about being on one of the ATF list.
I know if SHTF, I will be using my military access to the bases to my advantage, lol
