PREPARATION IS YOUR BEST PROTECTION

Captains of NB Emergency Volunteer Corps

WELCOME to the Nehalem Bay Emergency Volunteer Corps website.  Manzanita, Neah-kah-nie, Nehalem, Wheeler and surrounding areas have joined together to provide our residents and visitors with the necessary tools and information to be prepared in the event of an emergency here on the Coast.

Visit our blog (web log) for latest emergency information, news and informative articles.

When disaster strikes, being prepared is your best defense!  In our Coastal community, the chances are great that we will be cut off from outside help during a disaster. It is imperative that individuals, families, neighborhoods, businesses and the community be prepared to survive without outside help for anywhere from three days to two weeks.

BE PREPARED: Visit this website and learn how to become better prepared. Educate yourself to the different disasters (like storms and tsunamis) which can occur in our area.  Find out how to assemble a Go-Bag, Shelter in Place Kit and Pet Emergency Supplies.

GET INVOLVED: We welcome you to join our Volunteer Corps.  Volunteering for Emergency Preparedness is a great way to educate yourself, meet neighbors and prepare your community for surviving a disaster.  Emergency Training is a vital part of our program.  Learn how you can become a Red Cross Volunteer, CERT Responder, Ham Radio Operator or Neighborhood Captain to name a few possibilities.

When you are involved, please use these for (1) form for financial reporting of donations or in-kind contributions and (2) form for volunteer time spent to help us all prepare.

NBEVC also has information for 1st Responders and those leadership profession and volunteers that will  have responsibility during an emergency.  We do have a plan!

Please browse the pages here, and join in the fun.  We will all rest easier knowing we are all prepared – individually and as a community – to turn a diaster into a manageable event.
