Update on Multnomah's efforts for emergency response center

This story from the Portland Tribune is a quick update on residents' efforts to have the Sears Army Center used as an emergency response center. Some residents are working to identify alternative locations for the proposed low-income housing, while others are preparing to circulate a petition to present to the city council.

As a Westside resident, I'm in favor of the emergency response center. It's a much needed service and it appears that the site could be prepared with modest modification.

Make sure to let the city council know what you think, you can write, email or call city council members. In the ranking system of contact, phone calls count the most.
