Food for thought: if the earthquake happens under this administration…
There is no way Portland is getting federal aid or support. It’s very clear how this administration feels about Portland. It will be withheld punitively- and if not withheld, it will be delayed, depleted, diminished.
Best thing you can do is be ready to support yourself for at least two weeks. That includes food, water, first aid.
Edit to add: I said AT LEAST two weeks folks. That’s not the cap for how long until everything would get better. Let’s remember that being fully stocked for 6 months of survival isn’t feasible for the majority of us, cost wise, space wise, etc. ..two weeks of preparation is already a big financial investment when you live paycheck to paycheck
Edit 2: helpful resource from some neighbors!!
