Oregon Ready explores how volunteer radio operators, including those with EugeneEmComm and McKenzie Community Communications, fill critical communication gaps during disasters—and how you can prepare too.

We are in month 3 of Oregon Ready, following the Eugene Water & Electric Board's Pledge to Prepare to be “2 weeks ready” for disaster situations. We've received several disaster preparedness questions from you, our listeners and readers. So we have invited EWEB's Emergency Management Specialist, Jenny Demaris, to answer your questions.

We are in month two of KLCC’s Oregon Ready- taking one month at a time toward being two weeks ready for disasters and emergency situations. February’s checklist involves an additional day of food, water, and cash, plus unscented chlorine bleach, and propane for alternative food prep and heat sources.

In "Oregon Ready," KLCC host Love Cross embarks on her own journey to become "2 Weeks Ready," inspired by the Pledge to Prepare program from Eugene Water & Electric Board. Join in and follow her as she shares progress updates, interviews from emergency managers and preparedness experts, and actionable tips for your own effort to be prepared.
