Carbon Monoxide Alarms
What is Carbon Monoxide? It is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels, such as gasoline, wood, charcoal, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, kerosene and methane burn incompletely. It’s a silent killer. The only safe way to know if carbon monoxide is present is to install carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home.

Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan
The City of Lake Oswego Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan includes resources and information to assist city residents, public and private sector organizations, and others interested in participating in planning for natural hazards. The mitigation plan provides a list of activities that may assist the City of Lake Oswego in reducing risk and preventing loss from future natural hazard events. Lake Oswego has developed this Plan as an addendum to the Multi-Jurisdictional Clackamas County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan in an effort to take a more regional
approach to planning for natural hazard scenarios.

CERT
The
Federal Emergency Management Agency, using
the model created by the Los Angeles City
Fire Department, began promoting nationwide
use of the Community Emergency Response
Team (CERT) concept in 1994. Since then,
CERTís have been established in hundreds
of communities.
CERT training promotes a partnering effort
between emergency services and the people
that they serve. The goal is for emergency
personnel to train members of neighborhoods,
community organizations, or workplaces
in basic response skills. CERT members
are then integrated into the emergency
response capability for their area. |
