Community ResIlience
Preparing schools, towns and neighborhoods for the Really Big One
Igniting Enduring Cultures of Earthquake Preparedness Through:
Expert Panel Events
Community presentations that reach 500+ people can be a preparedness game-changer, especially in towns outside the main population centers. Tipping Point Resilience would like to partner with your town to arrange a venue, an expert panel and a promotion plan that will light a fire under your community. Check out our event in Klamath.
NEIGHBORHOOD PRESENTATIONS
Are you looking to engage your real estate clients, neighborhood association or office co-workers in a transformational conversation about earthquake preparedness? The Neighborhood Edition of the Tipping Point presentation combines Steve’s skills as a presenter with Lydia’s experience as a community mediator to help your group formulate real preparedness and family reunification plans.
COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS
Tipping Point delivers free presentations to targeted groups in the Greater Portland Area. We favor groups that are able to mobilize a large crowd that may not otherwise have access to this important preparedness message, especially non-profits and schools. Check out our Newsroom to see if there’s already a community event scheduled near you.
