Over 25 neighbors gathered to play at the Cedar Hills Ready! Disaster Scenario Game on April 17th, 2023. This interactive experience helped prepare neighbors for various disaster scenarios that could occur in the Pacific Northwest. Participants collaborated with neighbors in solving common problems that could be faced during a disaster. By simulating a disaster scenario, players developed knowledge and skills to better respond to a real-life emergency. Many mentioned how the collaborative approach helped them recognize the importance of connecting with neighbors to create a plan before a disaster occurs. "The BIG ONE?

It's Earthquake Preparedness webpage states, "Because of our community's generous support of the 2014 and 2020 Bonds, the district has built several new schools and seismically upgraded others." These bonds provided the District a unique opportunity to not only address daily operational needs, but also respond to the findings of The Oregon Resilience Plan by constructing disaster resilient schools that are also capable of supporting their surrounding communities as emergency shelters.
