- Contact us to schedule: [email protected].
- We will facilitate a 90 minute presentation & conversation to help you begin (or improve) your personal, family, and community preparedness. We will bring free literature. There is no sales pitch; we are volunteers.

Our Guiding StatementSunnyside Prepared helps residents educate each other about preparing their families and neighbors to care for themselves during an emergency, ranging from power outages to a major earthquake. The committee collaborates closely with the Sunnyside NET (Neighborhood Emergency Team), whose members have been trained and background-checked by PBEM (Portland Bureau of Emergency Management) and Portland Fire & Rescue.
Our collective goal is to help each other help ourselves, because history has proven repeatedly that in a crisis our neighbors are our most important “first responders.” All Sunnyside residents are welcome to participate in whatever capacity they are able and willing.
