Emergency Preparedness

The goal of emergency management and emergency preparedness is to help reduce the damage disasters can cause by getting ready ahead of time, working to prevent emergencies, finding ways to lessen their impact, and recover quickly when things do happen. Here in Tualatin, the City teams up with government agencies, outside partners, and community groups to work together to help make the city safer. 

Public Alerts

Everyone should make sure they are signed up to get emergency alerts by phone, text, and/or email.

Sign up for emergency alerts

Every person in Tualatin plays a part in making our community stronger and more prepared for emergencies.

The more ready we are to react to and stay safe in an emergency event, the less harm we will experience. If we can be somewhat self-sufficient during and immediately after an emergency, our public organizations (think: fire and rescue, law enforcement, local and federal governments, medical and utility providers, etc.) can turn their attention to broader post-emergency problems, like restoring public services and repairing infrastructure.

Make time to learn about the types of hazards Tualatin might face, how you can prepare, how to join our community efforts, and where to find helpful information.
