50+ Advisory Board Overall Status: Ongoing
2023 Board Goals
Updated on: 12/1 1/2023
Goal #1 Provide input and recommendation to City Council regarding accessibility
needs of seniors, and those with disabilities as well as the implementation of
actions that address those needs including:
1/12/2023 Boards and Commission Summit summary from other tables at the meeting.
Doug Corder Each table had a spoke person to stand and present summary of table
discussion to the entire group.
I learned that more than one table and more than 1 Advisory Board had the
same basic search or request for information; emergency contact, local
support contact, neighborhood contacts with information in one resource
location. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Board and the Library
Advisory Board had similar goals.
Supports aspects of Goal #1 and Goal #4 from 50= Advisory Board
1A
Full Access to
services,
information,
buildings, sidewalks
and trails.

Goal #2 Seek to improve knowledge of resources and identify needs of homebound
Leesie van Roon seniors and those with disabilities in case of a city-wide emergency.
2/17/2023 Karen Logsdon was asked to follow-up with Mary's Woods regarding their
Karen Logsdon emergency preparedness procedures for their residents.
3/1 1/2023 I have met with the Mary's Woods Emergency Planning Committee. The
Karen Logsdon leaders of emergency planning here are in regular contact and meetings
with the city. The issue of evacuation of the disabled individual living
alone, in a catastrophic event, is a challenge for all. Not sure how a city
can implement a successful solution, even here in Mary's Woods, without
private able-bodied neighbors' active involvement
8/30/2023 MarysWoods independent living community continues its efforts on becoming an official
Karen Logsdon LO Neighborhood Association. Currently exploring best ways to accomplish this, including
combining with neighborhood groups. Goals for assuring residents are safe and/or rescued
in the advent of a major emergency continue to be developed and refined.
Communication with the city of LO is ongoing, as well as Fire Department More effort will
now be directed towards Prep LO, now that it is trying again to organize and be more
effective
8/22/2023 On August 22nd, I worked with Maria to submit a funding application to Lake Oswego
Leesie van Roon Rotary for$600. This money would be used to provide 2 gallons of shelf stable water to
MOW recipients, along with emergency materials. If funding is granted I will work to find
volunteers to deliver. As of 9/5/23 we have not heard if funding is available but anticipate
hearing after monthly Rotary Board meeting.
8/24/2023 On August 24th, I attended the Mayor's Roundtable discussion for Emergency
Leesie van Roon Preparedness. Leaders from Police, Fire, City Manager departments and other City staff
were on hand to explain what the approach and plan is for various emergency situations.
Radio communication groups and PREP LO leaders were on hand as well. Reports were
made by some Neighborhood Association members about their efforts and needs. I spoke
about our concerns, and informed them about 50+work to get information packets out to
MOW clientele.
LAKE OSWEGO 50+ADVISORY BOARD 2
9/5/2023 In August, Maria Bigelow was able to source emergency materials, including"HELP/OK"
Leesie van Roon signs for distribution to MOW clients. These materials are FEMA produced and cover
Wildfire, Earthquake and Winter Storm preparedness tips. Yay, Maria!
9/1 1/2023 Viewed a webinar that included presentations from various parts of FEMA.
Steven Unger Talk with Jan Castle from PrepLO, had a fairly long phone call about PrepLO past, present
and future. Most of PrepLO's activities focused on homeowners rather than apartment
dwellers. PrepLO is debating what to do next; current leadership would prefer to retire
from running the organization.Talked a bit about the concept having a bi-annual Zoom call
to help education and organize all the preparation stake holders.Jan suggested that I speak
next with Carole Ockert of the Neighborhood Alliance and Megan Phelan of the City of Lake
Oswego.
9/14/2023 September 14th. Attended Emergency Preparedness Fair.
Betty Holladay Discussed with PGE rep the fact that city residents can sign up for list held by PGE if they
have impairments and would need assistance during long term power outages.
Applied for CERT Training and accepted on August 30, 2023 for CERT training this fall.
10/1 6/2023 Continuing the weekly CERT training. I met another woman from Mtn Park who informed
Betty Holladay me of her condo's efforts in emergency planning. I'd like to find more CERT volunteers.
I finally drafted and sent a letter to the Mountain Park HOA Board President asking about
emergency planning for Mountain Park. I did find out from the Fire Dept via our CERT
trainer that Mtn Park has 3 boxes of emergency materials allocated to it.
10/17/2023 Sent an email to Lake Oswego Rotary and the gentleman handling grant money for the
Leesie van Roon group, Matt Mathias, asking if our request had been approved. I have never had a response
to our original proposal/request and wanted to get a firm "No" if nothing else.
I have had no response to my last email. I would assume that we have been declined for
the $600 request for gallon water bottles. I will look into submitting another request after
the first of the new year.
Let's consider sending out the HELP signs and emergency materials with the MOW
deliveries before Thanksgiving. I can draft an accompanying letter that tells clients what
they are receiving if everyone believes it to be helpful.
1 1/8/2023 Completed CERT Training and received my certificate this past Monday on Nov 6th.
Betty Holladay Attended Prep LO reorganizational meeting at City Hall led by Jan Castle on 11/2.
Attended a meeting in Mountain Park encouraging residents to become prepared for
disasters and emergencies, become CERT trained and also organize their neighborhoods to
prep for emergencies. Commissioner Afghan spoke in favor of these efforts and also
LAKE OSWEGO 50+ADVISORY BOARD 3
committed to contact Mtn Park Board members to encourage them to support these
efforts.
1 1/13/2023 Maryswoods has had met with three surrounding neighborhood associations to discuss
Karen Logsdon merging them with the independent neighbor at MarysWoods, into one larger
neighborhood association. Groups are now meeting to write bylaws and prepare the city
application. Additionally,the Fire department instructed approximately 60 residents on
the "hands only"technique of resuscitation
12/4/2023 Created a cover sheet to attach to Emergency Preparedness packets for distribution to
Leesie van Roon MOW clients. Cover sheet explained the importance of preparedness, gave a brief list of
items to keep in the home and gave suggestions for making an emergency plan with friends
and family. A link to PG&E for seniors with specific emergency electrical needs was also
provided.
12/6/2023 Continued to work with the PrepLO on "Emergency Preparedness for Residents of Multi-
Steven Unger Unit Housing". PrepLO Task Force is developing a pamphlet to educate residents of multi-
unit housing on the specifics of preparing for and surviving an emergency. Sent a copy of
draft pamphlet to the 50+Advisory Board.
