Several committee members described a visit to Depot (Depoe) Hills — a rental/investor community — and reported that typical preparedness messaging (go bags, barrels, household-focused guidance) did not resonate with investors and short-term-rental operators. Cathy, an advisory committee member, said the community is oriented to investment and rentals and suggested targeted outreach through property managers and lodging platforms. Committee members discussed working with Meredith (a large property manager referenced in the meeting) and HOAs to ensure hospitality properties have emergency supplies for guests.

On caches and barrels, the committee reported which island sites already have barrels and which remain to be filled; committee members said islands 1 and 5 still lacked barrels and that most population centers were covered by the existing placement. For the barrel-host program and radio testing, Kim and the committee reported that seven hosts have been recruited and that an initial radio test produced communication among most hosts; staff will run a wider test with a communications lead (named in the meeting) to validate the system.

The committee set a community education event for Oct. 11. Planned items include demonstrations on building go bags, siren/alert guidance, the difference between distant and local tsunamis, Everbridge sign-up, and practical demonstrations such as turning off gas and draining a water heater (plumbing demonstration). Kim said she invited ODHS and other subject-matter experts, and that Samantha Buckley (as noted in the meeting) and others intend to join. The event is intended as an “ask the expert” format to get actionable advice to residents and lodging operators.

Operational steps and volunteers: committee members offered to qualify barrel-host candidates, to recruit volunteers for inventory work and to run radio tests with Michael Dane. The committee scheduled a work day on Sept. 19 to inventory and stage supplies in the storage units. Committee members also discussed how to supply hospitality operators with barrels or encourage them to stock supplies at their properties so that guests are served in an emergency.

Ending: Staff will continue radio testing, finalize speakers for the Oct. 11 community education event and return with a list of qualified barrel hosts and an updated inventory after the Sept. 19 staging exercise.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Depoe Bay Emergency Preparedness Committee Meeting_8-11-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members discussed outreach to rental communities and hospitality operators, the barrel-host program and radio tests, and set a community education event for Oct. 11; volunteers and partners were identified and inventory/testing dates planned.","taxTitle","Depoe Bay, Lincoln County, Oregon","taxId",55616,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6137621,"Committee raises outreach, limits of outdoor sirens and Everbridge notifications after tests",4738,256000,4994000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5598811-ac1478821994bcfb3d6a2c2380710af5&start=256&end=4994","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5598811-ac1478821994bcfb3d6a2c2380710af5/thumbnail_256000.jpg","/articles/6137621/Depoe-Bay/Lincoln-County/Oregon/Committee-raises-outreach-limits-of-outdoor-sirens-and-Everbridge-notifications-after-tests","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6137621-d07f836c08685e65d956aa8819bbee56/orig.mp4?Expires=1770452802&Signature=SZ0Dn7S8hS7U7TMRPTkxgmSt3QqanGi5c2RDYx~ZicA~WSJOnEpURKeqPQkXbIEKpLvhgCHz-Ruqg~q-GS5fKsZUUtqet8mrajaxZJ9JdpOZY8e4ExQv2Zlzp9MDmL-pyDBkRlsOIRTca30wlRBOPEKVrvflyaFuk7gKXPaHY86ZJnG51e7st7x0ccEVTJt0u1q1bcRTaQ3oqBituK16wGtfLYcv-LJJbN6Qt-jVZNhehofgwwwXdv-EUsxyssenXaZPYvHhhHm-EMgpSYE-DghHcwK-lMkL-ElqMmc5VCjAfbBoxULfcZS2pm3LauCp4E7TIbXSvAeVmkFowL9Tnw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee reviewed outdoor tsunami siren protocols and public reaction to recent siren tests, and agreed to emphasize Everbridge and public education in notification strategy.

The committee discussed an attached briefing on outdoor tsunami siren protocols and a test video that showed mixed public response to an earlier exercise. Kim, a Depoe Bay staff member, reminded the group that outdoor sirens are intended for people outdoors and do not reach people indoors; “Outdoor warning sign means that you have to be outdoors. You're not gonna hear indoors,” Kim said. Committee members noted that sirens have limited reach where power and infrastructure are interrupted and that some coastal cities have elected not to fund or repair sirens.

Why it matters: siren repair or replacement is capital-intensive and may not reach the largest audiences. The committee emphasized layered notification strategies—Everbridge messages, local outreach and education about how to respond to ground shaking and local evacuation cues.

Committee discussion highlighted three points: sirens are useful but not a standalone solution; indoor audiences need other alert channels such as Everbridge and door-to-door or lodging outreach; and messaging should teach people how to react in a local-tsunami scenario (for local tsunamis, “if you feel the shake, go to high ground” was noted).

Several members and staff said only a few coast cities still maintain outdoor sirens and some cities have declined to fund repairs; committee members urged the city to refine its public messages rather than present sirens as the primary notification method. The group also reviewed an after-action from a recent tabletop exercise and agreed to continue tests of radio hosts and Everbridge enrollment as part of outreach.

Ending: Staff said they will continue to run tests, share the siren protocol memo with the City Council as part of upcoming public comment and prioritize Everbridge signups and public education in the near term.","Members reviewed the city’s outdoor tsunami siren protocols, noted public confusion during tests and discussed reliance on Everbridge notifications and educational messaging rather than sole reliance on outdoor sirens.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6137625,"Depoe Bay committee plans Stonebridge cache site, budgets and MOU as supply hubs",1547,2028000,3575000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5598811-ac1478821994bcfb3d6a2c2380710af5&start=2028&end=3575","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5598811-ac1478821994bcfb3d6a2c2380710af5/thumbnail_2028000.jpg","/articles/6137625/Depoe-Bay/Lincoln-County/Oregon/Depoe-Bay-committee-plans-Stonebridge-cache-site-budgets-and-MOU-as-supply-hubs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6137625-a88f13a7b58e5d8968b47c93f6db214b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770452802&Signature=bHDQXWEGg9sGKNbeC4Jx8JD1x9vu9TVmTSN2UO~XPF2w64UvtNItcLVYJot4Lq65NK3~ldzyVWG8T4woTGuszjqcG0xBdLK0MEjgTLRF1gC4XrN5arr8Ohcxul1nxyoZlf50GyGZWP1Jshuw1yh4wuS~MXlsAkJ0FcNj~xdbbGsL-vJN5~XXAu6hB27MOf1i7qGqXF2mlinpFxUGwckMonPBhO0efzyJ3aBdWdxib4MmAvhDGhOKO1uJZQsc4RSWMoSN80CxN8kRQQYcgpOKagIoLl1KqH2hC556diUvpU3TNBsfLzDFF16XSzyrg5YC287rW8kvROjyCvcaRstAmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee on Aug. 11 discussed steps to make the city’s emergency supply caches usable in a major event, plan a new cache site at Stonebridge and pursue funding and formal agreements with property partners. Kim, a Depoe Bay staff member, said the City Council has approved moving forward and that staff will solicit bids and draft the memorandum of understanding needed to site and build a Stonebridge cache.

Committee members said the city already has two nearby storage locations that function as one supply site and recommended keeping those stocked while building out Stonebridge as a second distribution hub. The committee agreed planning should aim to support about 200 people on each river-side area; members discussed concrete pads, fencing, lighting and the cost of site work.

Why it matters: the committee must balance secure, climate-controlled storage and public access during events while limiting impacts on Stonebridge homeowners and complying with HOA rules. A formal agreement and clear operational rules will be needed before supplies are staged at a new site.

Committee discussion centered on three tasks: (1) inventory and reorganize items now in hand so supplies are easy to deploy; (2) acquire one or more larger containers for Stonebridge and prepare a concrete pad and fencing; and (3) finalize an MOU or lease that defines responsibilities, signage and enforcement. Kim told the group the MOU draft will be shared with the committee and has already been discussed with Stonebridge representatives.

Committee members clarified logistics for distribution on the day of an event. Some members argued the city’s Community Hall/Emergency Operations Center should focus on logistics, communications and staff support rather than mass public distribution; others favored two separate distribution sites so managers are not overwhelmed. “Otherwise, I’m gonna proceed forward as if we’re going to get that,” Kim said about soliciting bids and moving the project toward procurement.

Funding and next steps: Kim noted a state grant pathway called Readiness (nonconstruction funding) is open and likely requires a match (committee discussion mentioned a roughly 20% match). The committee asked staff to request quotes for clearing and pad installation and to bring those estimates back to the group. Kim said the City Council has already approved the overall plan and budget allocation to pursue container procurement and site work.

Operational details discussed included whether to split supplies (halves versus thirds) and where to stage items for rapid distribution. Committee members agreed to inventory existing caches, create labeled stacks and shelves, and schedule a work date to reorganize stored items; the group set Sept. 19 for an all-hands inventory and staging session. Staff will draft the MOU for review, pursue a grant application for nonconstruction costs and solicit contractor quotes for the pad and site work.

The committee identified several implementation considerations for the MOU and site design: no-parking enforcement requested by the Stonebridge HOA; responsibility for maintenance and security; the need for climate-controlled storage to avoid moisture damage to supplies; and how to stage mobile distribution trailers. Kim and staff will return to the advisory committee with the MOU draft, contractor estimates, and a proposed container size and placement plan.

Ending: The committee scheduled an inventory and staging work day for Sept. 19 and instructed staff to obtain quotes and a draft MOU for the next meeting so the committee can finalize the site and procurement plan.","The Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee discussed inventorying existing emergency caches, treating two nearby storage locations as a single distribution site, and moving ahead with a Stonebridge cache and related site work now approved by the City Council; staff will seek bids, draft an MOU and pursue grant funding.","actionData","errors"]
