Shelter in Place
Schools are required by state law to conduct drills for fire, earthquake, and tsunami where appropriate.
Oregon Emergency Management, Oregon Fire Marshals Association, Oregon School Resource Officers Association, and Special Districts Association of Oregon partnered with Office of State Fire Marshal (OSFM) to provide schools with information about conducting drills for fire, earthquake, shelter-in-place, and lock down. This information is assembled into a School Resource Guide to Evacuation Planning.
The guide is intended to ensure consistency in the messaging about school fire evacuation planning, drills and reporting. OSFM recommends using the Emergency Evacuation Drill Record if the fire department, school district, or local school does not have a standardized form.

Region 10 Regional Response Team / Northwest Area Committee
The Region 10 Regional Response Team (RRT) is responsible for regional planning and preparedness. They provide a forum for federal and state agencies to exchange information about their abilities to respond to on-scene coordinators’ requests for assistance. Members of the RRT do not respond direct to releases or spills. The team may be called upon to provide technical advice, equipment, or workers to assist with a response. Approval of the RRT is required for implementing certain response techniques.
The Northwest Area Committee(NWAC) consists of personnel from federal and state agencies who coordinate response actions with tribal and local governments and the private sector. Area committees are responsible for developing Area Contingency Plans. The committees work with the response community to develop procedures to expedite decisions for the use of alternative response measures.
