SUMMARY:Wildfire & Preparedness Event
DESCRIPTION:Ever worry about what will happen when a big earthquake or wildfire event occurs in our communities? You’re not alone. Invite a neighbor and join us for an important Community Conversation at Friendly House and together we’ll learn practical\, proven strategies to prepare ourselves\, our families\, and our neighborhoods. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nSteve Eberlein\, Preparedness Educator + Advocate: Formerly of American Red Cross and now a professional emergency planning consultant\, Steve will present and take your questions.\n\n\nInformation Tables: Fire and Earthquake Preparedness Experts and Suppliers and representatives from seismic upgrade companies\, schools\, vet clinics and more will be present to answer your questions. \n\n\nPreparedness Supplies: Pre-order or purchase at the event durable emergency water storage containers and reduced cost ‘go bags’ for pickup at the event. Stay tuned for details.\n\n\n…and more!\n\nWhen you know what to expect\, you can be prepared — and when you’re prepared\, you don’t need to be scared! A prepared neighborhood is a safe and resilient neighborhood. \n3–5:30pm • Sunday\, May 18th • Free • Friendly House: 1737 NW 26th Ave \nParticipants available at tables in the gym after the presentation will include: \nAmerican Red Cross – Representatives will hand out their comprehensive preparedness manuals and tell you how to become “Red Cross Ready” for an emergency\, meaning how to follow their simple steps in advance to ensure you can weather a crisis safely and comfortably. Being prepared may not prevent a disaster\, but it will give you confidence to meet the challenge. \nThe City of Portland Bureau of Emergency Management – City officials from the PBEM will be on hand to explain how they promote readiness\, coordinate response\, and build resilience for Portland.

Whether you live in a rural area\, a suburb\, or the middle of the city\, Firewise principles can help keep your home and community safer. \nPortland Public Schools – A representative from PPS will explain how the public schools in our area are set up to handle a disaster such as an earthquake or wildfire\, as well as how to prepare your child and what to expect from your child’s school in the aftermath of a disaster.  \nPet Preparedness – A veterinarian from NW Neighborhood Veterinary Hospital and the Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator from Dove Lewis will discuss pet-based emergency kits and provide information and hand-outs on pet preparedness. \nSeismic Retrofit Contractors – NW Seismic\, whose primary focus is to strengthen homes to a degree at which homeowners can shelter in place after a moderate-to-high seismic event\, will offer a variety of solutions and services to meet homeowners’ structural foundation needs as well as gas valve shut off installations and hot water tank strapping. \nSupplies For Sale –   Are you Redfora (Ready for Anything)?

DESCRIPTION:“A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Prison” is a beautiful story of love\, caring and human connection. Themes of gender identity and the challenges faced by BIPOC prisoners are deftly explored\, and the power of the arts to challenge and heal\, even under the most difficult circumstances\, is affirmed and celebrated. Q & A discussion after with the theatre director and actors from the film who have since been released. \n6–8pm • Friday\, May 30th • Free • RSVP requested: frontdesk@fhpdx.org or call (503) 228-4391 \nFilm Description: \nInside the locked walls of the Two Rivers Correctional Institution near Umatilla\, Oregon\, cell doors slide open\, and a group of adults in custody begins work with visiting theater director Johnny Stallings. Over the next few months\, as they cast\, rehearse\, and perform William Shakespeare’s comedic tale of love and reconciliation\, A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, Iraqi-born Portland experimental filmmaker Bushra Azzouz is there—among the costume fittings\, meals on plastic lunch trays\, and deeply personal side conversations—applying her deft hand as a cultural interpreter and activist storyteller. Through her watchful eye\, in contrast with common societal assumptions about the incarcerated\, she finds personas softening\, meaningful relationships forming\, and life stories being reimagined. As she did in her earlier films about ancestry\, war\, and pain\, she takes us to the roots of our common humanity\, celebrating the hopes and dreams we share.
