Trama Response Institute: Repsonse to Japan’s Disaster
Trauma Response Institute Plans Portland Center Response to Japan’s Triple Disaster
The TRI invites Portland Center students and staff to participate in two activities in response to the triple disaster that has crippled much of Japan.
The first is “Letters of Encouragement” to Japanese college students and children living in shelters. For details, see emails and flyers distributed on the Portland campus, or email tri@georgefox.edu for more information.
The second event is a fundraiser for Medical Teams International. Mark your calendars now to attend a “Disaster Preparedness Information Meeting” on Saturday, May 14 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. in Room 155 in the Portland Center South building. Representatives from MTI will join us to share updates on their recovery work in Japan, as well as the latest updates on the radiation threats here in the Pacific Northwest. Instructions on how you can be more prepared to survive the aftermath of a major disaster at home and work will be the central focus of the meeting. There is no charge to attend, and all donations received will be given to MTI’s Japan response efforts. More details will be posted soon.
If you have questions about either of these events, please contact Anna Berardi, Director of the Trauma Response Institute at aberardi@georgefox.edu.
