Whiteaker Connects

Our Disaster Resiliency event was a huge success! We gave away 50 solar powered chargers, gave out free go bag supplies, gave away gift cards and learned about increasing our disaster resiliency from local community organizations. We are also installing WiFi hubs to increase accessibility to information and communication in the event of a WiFi outage. Look for more info on the WiFi hubs at our next WCC General Meeting on November 13th!

Special thank you to AARP Livable Communities and AARP Oregon for sponsoring the event, Andy Davis, Eugene EMCOMM Net Manager and Northeast District CERT Leader for his presentation on how to use FRS (Family Radio Service) during emergencies, Deputy Fire Marshal Althea Sullivan from Eugene Springfield Fire and Community Engagement Specialist Jeff Blondé with the Eugene Police Department.
