Pilot grant program funding under the leadership and direction of Clint Fella.
Preparedness Tip -
* The best thing to do during an earthquake is Drop, Cover, and Hold On
as soon as you feel shaking
o DROP down onto your hands and knees so the earthquake doesn't knock you down
o COVER your head and neck with your arms to protect yourself from falling
debris. If you are in danger from falling objects, and you can move safely,
crawl to a safer place or seek cover (e.g., under a desk or table)
? Most earthquake injuries are caused by falling objects like lamps,
furniture/appliances, ceiling tiles, etc.
? When choosing a cover stay away from windows
o HOLD ON to any sturdy covering so you can move with it until the shaking
stops
Disaster of the Week -
October 4, 2010: A dam at a waste reservoir for a factory in Hungary collapsed,
sending millions of gallons of red
sludge<http://engineeringfailures.org/?p=295> through nearby towns injuring 150
people and killing
ten<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajka_alumina_plant_accident#Effects>. The
sludge was a byproduct of a process used to turn bauxite into a type of
aluminum oxide. Over 15 square miles of land were initially affected by the
toxic release.
Lessons learned: The unintentional release of hazardous materials is a problem
all over the world, and one that causes damage to the economy, our health, and
to the environment. Taking care to ensure hazardous materials are not released
into the environment, either by accident, on purpose, or due to negligence, is
the responsibility of everyone that comes in contact with a potentially toxic
substance. Safely disposing of household cleaners, automotive fluids, and
electronics may seem small in comparison to the release described in this
week's disaster, but taking the time to ensure these substances cannot cause
harm after they have been used is important to protect the health of our
community. Visit our partners at the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality
for information on disposing of household hazardous
waste<http://www.deq.state.or.us/lq/sw/hhw/collection.htm> in Oregon
