Depoe Bay resilience committee elects chair, approves minutes and secures storage for emergency supplies
Summary
At the meeting the committee elected Kathy Shore as chair, approved past meeting minutes by voice vote and announced a rented Anchor Storage unit (H201) for emergency supplies; members discussed signage and evacuation-drill guidance from Oregon Emergency Management and DOGAMI.
The Depoe Bay Resilience Committee elected Kathy Shore as committee chair, approved prior meeting minutes and confirmed a secured storage unit to hold emergency supplies.
During the opening organization items committee members held nominations for chair and vice chair. Multiple members nominated Joyce King and Kathy Shore; by show of hands the committee confirmed Kathy Shore as chair and moved on to the vice-chair nomination process. Members discussed Joyce King’s membership status: she had been the committee’s council-appointed representative previously and is now an applicant awaiting city council approval on Jan. 21 to rejoin the committee as a member rather than a council-appointed seat.
The committee passed a motion to accept the consent agenda and the minutes for the October and Dec. meetings by voice vote. The minutes motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
Under new business the committee announced it has obtained Anchor Storage unit H201 to hold committee emergency supplies. The unit will be set up for deliveries, requires shelving to be ordered and costs $220 per month. Committee members said a shelving purchase will be made before stock is stored.
Public comment and discussion focused on evacuation drills, signage and visitor messaging. Committee members and presenters discussed whether kiosks or wayfinding devices should sit on the seawall and emphasized the life-safety message that "if you feel a long shake, go uphill on foot — do not wait for an alert or try to drive." DOGAMI and Oregon Emergency Management materials (evacuation-drill guidance and signage templates) were recommended as available resources; Sea Grant and DOGAMI offered to provide maps, kiosk templates and planning guides.
Ending: Committee members requested staff circulate the Anchor Storage logistics and the DOGAMI/Sea Grant mapping templates and asked Sea Grant to help identify grants to fund signage and hotel-room materials.
