March is Disability Awareness Month

More than one in four adults in the US lives with a disability. Each March, we take time to raise awareness, recognize the contributions of people with disabilities, and promote accessibility for all.

As part of this effort, the City is releasing its annual Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Progress Report. This report highlights the City's ongoing work to implement the ADA Transition Plan, showcasing key accessibility projects, innovative programs, and outreach initiatives from the past year.

Learn more about Disability Awareness Month and explore the latest ADA Progress Report.

Emergency Preparedness - City Council Videos

Emergencies and disasters can happen at any time. It's important to remember that emergency preparedness is a collective effort. The City works to protect the public from the negative impacts of emergencies and disasters. This work includes preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergencies and disasters.

Like local government, individuals must actively participate in managing their own risks and emergencies.

To help you prepare, Lake Oswego City Council put together a series of videos with helpful tips and suggestions.
