Disaster Preparedness: Message from City of Wilsonville

Written by

The following message is from:

Angela Handran, Community Outreach Specialist

Good afternoon,  I am reaching out on behalf of the City of Wilsonville.

 

The City of Wilsonville feels strongly that active measures need to be taken to be adequately prepared when a disaster occurs, and the City can’t do it alone.

The more people who are prepared the better it is for our community. Thus we are reaching out to Home Owners Associations, faith based organizations, and community groups and encouraging you to get involved with Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) to learn how you can help.

This is a group through Clackamas County that helps prepare organizations like yours for a local disaster through trainings and disaster preparedness exercises. COAD is an extension of emergency management under FEMA. If you would like more information please feel free to reach out to me directly.

 

The next COAD meeting is on July 28th at Clackamas Community College from 9:00 to 11:30 am.

 

You are welcome to attend or if you are unable to make this meeting but want to become involved in COAD please let me know. I will be helping to relay the information from COAD to those interested.

 

COAD 

Mission:

The mission of Clackamas County Community Organizations Active in Disaster (CC- COAD) is to enhance the efforts of community stakeholders through collaborative planning, relief, and recovery activities in order to provide more effective services to disaster impacted communities

Who Should Be a CC COAD Member?

Community stakeholders, government, faith based organizations, businesses and volunteers committed to working together to meet local needs following a disaster

Benefits of Quarterly Meetings

  •  Share information – Who does what in disasters and how is it coordinated?
  •  Identify resources available through CC COAD affiliates
  •  Network with organizations that have a community disaster role
  •  Participate in disaster training to improve local capabilities
  •  Test assumptions with disaster simulations (exercises)

Kind Regards,

Angela Handran

Update from Chris on Irrigation

Written by

Hi Everyone,
Wanted to give you all an update with factual information:
Through a huge amount of work today by many people we are now up and running.  I would love to say like normal, but I know you all know that at this time is not a true reality.  We stand at this moment in the same place that we were before the unfortunate accident that occurred yesterday  morning.  Just so everyone has some details.  We have 2 pumps on, they are both running through the main panel that is connected to a generator that SHOULD run continuous for many days. So pressure should be like it was on Sunday (hopefully, but we are not 100% sure about all details).   We will continuously monitor the generator, panel and the pumps and the main lake to hopefully supply water to all of you on a solid basis and we should not have to change any watering schedules this evening. 
If you have any issues, please notify me as soon as you can and I will get with Danny and hopefully get them rectified asap. 
I am sorry if I am not able to answer or provide a huge amount of detail, but at this time I do not have any more factual information to provide.  
With our fingers crossed, 
Chris Bensel

Urgent Annoucement about Irrigation problem

Written by

There was a Fire in the “Pump Vault” resulting in loss of any functioning Pumps for irrigation

In the process of working on the irrigation pumping system there was a fire (electrician was even slightly burned). The result is that all of the irrigation pumps are no longer operational.  It may take 3-4 weeks of work (by PGE and our own engineer) to rectify the problem.

We need your Help even more

if you want to keep the grass and plants around your property green, during this time without golf course irrigation it is important that you hand water or use a sprinkler

 

Thanks for your help

We still need your help with Supplemental Irrigation

Sprinkler

This is an update from a previous post about the need for supplemental watering to keep everything green.

Email from Garron Grounds:

The pond is still pumping algae into the pipes. Please let the homeowners know the issue has not been resolved and to hand water as much as possible.

 

Thanks again for your help in keeping Charbonneau beautiful
