Emergency Preparedness

A beautiful March morning found all of us organizing, labeling and storing supplies for community use in the case of natural disaster. Bonnie attended the City of Forest Grove’s recent emergency preparedness event, and developed a plan for Green Grove. Her research into the best-tasting shelf-stable food products, how to maintain the quality of stored water, and what types of items should be stored bedside, in the car, and on the property, were some of the key takeaways we were able to apply. With the optimistic attitude that, “If you prepare for it, it won’t happen,” we are now ready to forget about “the big one.”
