Free “Be 2 Weeks Ready” Workshop (Oct 23rd & 24th, 2026)

Disasters can happen anywhere, at any time. When a disaster strikes, it could take days to weeks for first responders to reach you. That's why it's important to get prepared!

Neighbors Ready! offers free educational events, information, and opportunities to learn about easy ways you can prepare as a family and as a neighborhood. Our educational meetings cover topics such as building a go kit, storing water and supplies, constructing a simple sanitation system, establishing family emergency plans, and more.

Join us for a free, in-person workshop to learn how to help your neighbors, club, or other community group get prepared using the Be 2 Weeks Ready curriculum, a program developed by the Oregon Department of Emergency Management. Here are the details for this event:
