STATE COVID-19 RESPONSE HAS WEB PAGE FOR INTERACTION

March 23, 2020 3:30 a.m.
In support of COVID-19 response, the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, and the State Emergency Coordination Center have established a webpage for interaction.
Oregonians can submit requests to donate services or supplies, volunteer to support, or to engage in a business relationship with the state. The page is at: https://oregon-coronavirus-geo.hub.arcgis.com/.
OEM Director Andrew Phelps said “we need to rely on our resources and skills to get through this together and we appreciate the people and businesses stepping up to help out in response to this crisis”.  He said the site better enables the state to accept the appropriate donations, services, and volunteers to help meet the needs of this response. Phelps said this is a difficult situation but he is proud of the way Oregonians have come together to support each other and the state.
The OEM release said the biggest need right now is for Personal Protective Equipment, such as masks, gloves, and gowns.
