The Depoe Bay Emergency Preparedness Committee convened on August 11, 2025, to discuss critical logistics for emergency response efforts in the community. A significant focus of the meeting was the establishment of two distribution centers for emergency supplies, aimed at enhancing the city's preparedness for potential disasters.

Committee members debated the necessity of having two sites for supply distribution, with several members expressing agreement that this approach would streamline operations. The discussion highlighted the importance of having a climate-controlled environment for storage to prevent issues such as condensation, which could compromise the integrity of supplies.

The committee also addressed the need for organizational support, including the installation of shelves and categorization of supplies. It was noted that a city employee would be required to assist with these tasks, emphasizing the collaborative effort needed to ensure readiness.

Looking ahead, the committee set a tentative date of September 19, 2025, for a work session to begin organizing the supplies. Members acknowledged the importance of scheduling this work in advance, particularly considering potential weather disruptions. The meeting concluded with plans to secure quotes for necessary infrastructure improvements, including a concrete pad for storage containers.

Overall, the discussions underscored the committee's commitment to enhancing emergency preparedness in Depoe Bay, with a clear focus on effective logistics and community collaboration.
