Although our city is having a lot of problems, I would want to thank a handful of city employees that keep our city running smoothly. I recently finished the prerequisites to volunteer for the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management’s Neighborhood Emergency Team. I learned how to do things like extricating a dummy from beneath a concrete slab, conducting a search and rescue, putting out a fire, and performing triage over the course of three classroom days and one field training day.
Along with roughly thirty other citizen volunteers, I carried out this task. In order to be useful in an emergency, we dedicated our leisure time to learning these abilities. We are now part of the hundreds of volunteers who have already completed this course.
