Product Description

“I found a little book that I really like that just fits in your bug out bag. It is called the Nature Bound Pocket Field Guide. The book appears to be currently out of print, but is available through the used book market at reasonable prices. The books has over 300 pages and measures 4 ½ x 5 inches.

It has sections on fire, shelter, windchill, water, gathering food and many other things. There is a large section on edible plants with good pictures, descriptions and information on preparation and other uses. The section on poisonous plants includes pictures, symptoms and some treatment information”

  Each volunteer will be treated as a walk-in patient. Participation will take about 15 minutes, and no appointment or pre-registration is necessary. Emergency workers will treat volunteer patients with placebo medication.
  The exercise will measure the city’s ability to:
  § Test its Point of Dispensing (POD) Plan.
  § Communicate and coordinate with fellow emergency responders.
  § Implement Tigard’s Emergency Response Plan.
  § Put newly acquired equipment into practice.
  § Evaluate the current plans, procedures and reporting protocols.
