When a major disaster happens in Oregon, our water systems may be damaged. What's your plan for staying hydrated and clean, if the water stops flowing for weeks? In this workshop, Cedar Hills Ready! and QuakeUp! volunteers will discuss strategies for ensuring your water resiliency during a disaster. We'll demonstrate how to create potable water from our local water sources using a couple of different methods and tools. If you buy the kit materials, you can build a two-bucket water filtration system to take home with you. Join us and prepare smartly. Everyone is welcome. Share and invite all your important people.

Below are steps to help you prepare for earthquakes while staying safe during COVID-19:
- Practice the drop, cover, and hold on steps with your family and coworkers.
- Ensure items such as televisions and objects that hang on the walls are secured and store heavy and breakable objects on low shelves.
- Create an emergency plan with the whole family and practice it regularly. This should include what is needed to protect you and your family from an earthquake and other disasters, including COVID-19.
- Build an emergency kit that includes essential items such as water, non-perishable food, and prescription medicines for at least three days for the whole family, including pets; and a flashlight, a fire extinguisher, and a whistle.
- Consider obtaining an earthquake insurance policy. A standard homeowner’s insurance policy does not cover earthquake damage.
- Consider fixing structural issues that could cause your building to collapse during an earthquake.
