[Portland] NETs and Fire Management Zones

Portland's Fire Bureau has made a very wise move and realigned the Neighborhood Emergency Teams to match the fire stations, instead of the hundred-plus Neighborhood Associations. Now, NETs will work closer with their fire stations, and that's very good.

Here's a map of the PFB Fire Management Zones, a higher resolution (and larger) FMZ map for the entire county and a (huge) interactive drill-down find-your-location map. These links connect to the Portland Fire Bureau website, and require the free Adobe Acrobat viewer.

Portland's 545,000 people have 851 volunteers to save them when the big one hits. If you'd like tto be #852, contact the Portland Office of Emergency Management for the free and lifesaving training, or Multnomah ARES if you have an amateur radio license.

Wish to acquire an amateur radio license? See this guide to study opportunities, classses and testing sessions in the area.

Here's a numerically ordered list of

- their area
- how many fully qualified NETs there are for it, and
