Buckman will be hosting an Emergency Preparedness Fair on Monday, April 4, starting at 6:30 pm. Families can come and get information and resources for making a Family Emergency Plan as well as learn about how our school is trying to prepare for the possibility of an emergency. In addition, Buckman’s Safety committee along with Buckman Neighborhood NET are interested in locating a Buckman parent or neighbor who is a trained radio operator and could help out in the event of an emergency. Also Portland Bureau of Emergency Management is looking for folks willing to attend extensive NET training in May. If you have questions or are interested, please contact Melina in the office or Diane in the SUN office. We are hoping to build a strong emergency response team at our school in conjunction with the neighborhood NET team.
