The Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay will be at the Manzanita Farmers Market on Friday, August 14 from 4:00 to 7:00, in the parking lot off Manzanita Avenue next to City Hall.
Our tent is open at both ends so you can walk straight through and meet the volunteers behind each of our programs:
CERT. Neighbors trained to respond in the first hours after a disaster.
Medical Reserve Corps. Medical and non medical volunteers ready to staff emergency care.
WaSH. Safe water and sanitation when the taps and toilets stop working.
GoBag. What to pack so you can leave your house in under five minutes.
Prepare Your Neighborhood. How your street gets organized before anything happens.
Neighborhood Radio. Staying in touch with your block when the phones go quiet.
Shelters. Where people go when they cannot safely stay in their homes.
Mass Care. The coordination behind all of it. Standing up a site like this one, working alongside our partner agencies and getting the right people and equipment where they need to be. Friday is a working demonstration of exactly that.
The MRC trailer will be open for walk through tours, and we will have Starlink running so you can see how we stay connected when the usual communication lines go down. Our friends at Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue plan to join us as well.
Come with your questions. What goes in a GoBag. How your neighborhood gets organized. What happens to water after a big quake. Where people go if they cannot stay in their homes. We would rather answer those questions on a sunny Friday afternoon than during an emergency.
Thinking about volunteering? Stop by our table to check out the Volunteer Welcome Packet and fill out a Volunteer Interest Form. EVCNB’s new Volunteer Coordinator will be there to help get you started.
