Emergency Preparedness

The Preparedness Plan

Between May and July 2018, each household is being given a red booklet titled “Charbonneau Country Club Emergency Preparedness Plan,” in which you will find information about readiness planning for your own home.  In addition, there are specific, CHOA related materials included in the CCC packet for your reference and detailed below.

After July 2018, the red booklets are being distributed to new residents where the materials had not been left in the home by the previous resident.  If you do not have this red booklet about emergency preparedness in your home, contact our CHOA New Resident Liaison, Janet McGarrigle, 503-720-2480 or janmcboone@comcast.net.
