Communities Prepared for Disasters Webinar Series

Oregon Department of Emergency Management

Each spring, OEM hosts the Communities Prepared for Disasters webinar: a free, two-part educational series focusing on the needs and concerns of a specific community when it comes to preparing for and recovering from disasters.

These free webinars are developed in collaboration with local, county, state, Tribal, and community partners and open to organizations, community groups, faith-based organizations, emergency management professionals, and anyone interested in community preparedness.

These sessions will be hosted in English with Spanish, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese, and Ukrainian translation with ASL interpretation and CART real-time captioning in English.

NOTICE ABOUT REGISTERING

We understand that some of you have had issues registering for the webinar. This is because of new security policies that require all people participating in state-led webinars to have an official Zoom account. This prevents bad actors from disrupting the presentations.

Your official Zoom account can be a free account (register for one here) or a commercial account. If you do not have a Zoom account, you will not be able to access the meeting.

On the day of the webinar:

You must join the webinar meeting with the same email you used to register for the webinar and Zoom account.
You must also type in the passcode provided to you when you register for the webinar; do not copy and paste it.

As a reminder, if you are unable to attend the live event, the webinars will be posted to the Be2Weeks Ready YouTube Channel.

We apologize for any confusion this may be causing. Please, if you have any questions, concerns, or if you continue to experience registration issues email community.preparedness@oem.oregon.gov

Thanks!
