Preparedness is about Community, not Catastrophe

We are your Multnomah neighbors who will provide disaster assistance in our community when first responders such as police or fire are not immediately available. We receive training from the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management (PBEM) and the Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R). We are the Multnomah Neighborhood Emergency Team – Multnomah NET.

Our Team meetings are open to anyone who lives or works in the Multnomah Neighborhood and wishes to learn more about emergency preparedness, Multnomah NET, BEECN, and our activities.
