The locally produced com- munity service program will feature extended conversations with a variety of people on those four topics. Most of the time will be spent talking about disaster preparedness. A single story in the New Yorker magazine last month Florence City Wide Garage Sale September 11-13, 2015 presented by the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce did more than hundreds of town hall meetings and disaster preparedness workshops to raise the awareness of the like- lihood of a devastating earth- quake and coast-wrecking tsunami along the Oregon coast. That story has been shared on social media, has prompted countless discussions and per- haps most importantly, caused a lot of people to take seriously the need to have an emergency cache of supplies at home. Online retailers of disaster kits are saying their most popu- lar items are on back order and they’ve done more business in recent weeks than they remem- ber. Key members of a local coalition that formed 10 years ago following a similar disaster in Indonesia are also trying to capitalize on the attention cre- ated by the New Yorker maga- zine story about the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Several members of the West Lane Emergency Operations Group (WLEOG) will be in the studio with Our Town host Bob Sneddon. WLEOG consists of eight agencies, and about a dozen more affiliated groups. They meet regularly to talk about planning for a large scale disaster; and how to work on recovery. They don’t focus strictly on earthquakes and tsunamis. Their scope of work also WEDNESDAY THURSDAY includes things like major storms, chemical spills, wild- fire, and just about anything else that would require a wide- spread emergency response. WLEOG chairwoman Megan Messmer, Florence Police Chief Tom Turner, Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue Chief Jim Langborg, and Lane County Emergency Manager Linda Cook will be in the stu- dio Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m. to talk about their work so far. Joining the conversation by phone will be Althea Rizzo, the Geologic Hazards Coordinator for Oregon Emergency Management. Three other topics will be discussed on today’s edition of Our Town. The American Cancer Society Relay for Life has been raising awareness and money for cancer research and advo- cacy in Florence since 2000. The 16th annual Florence Relay is set for this weekend, Aug. 8, and co-chair Nicole Hundley says there will be a few changes. The biggest is that instead of running 24 hours on the walk- ing path at Miller Park, it will only be 12 hours long. Opening ceremonies are set for noon Saturday. Hundley will talk about the schedule, as well as how much money they hope to raise. Siuslaw Outreach Services’ David Wiegan will talk about a recently completed remodel at SOS. Wiegan is the executive director for the multi-cause agency that provides services to victims of domestic and sex- ual abuse, low income families and the homeless in our area. A new roof and internal remodeling of its 60-year-old building will allow them to focus more on their mission and less on mopping the floors after a rain storm. The final topic on Our Town will be a conversation with Kate McBroom Redwine and Ken Gaylord with Habitat for Humanity. The organization recently broke ground on its 27th home; but they are also spending a great deal of time working on revitalizing neigh- borhoods and helping people make home repairs that they may not otherwise be able to afford.
