At Resource Tap, we strive to take on the heaviest part of your load so you can get back to what matters most.
Who We Serve
Emergency Managers
Globally there has been an increase in the number and severity of disasters. Regrettably, resources directed towards emergency management activities have not kept pace with this trend. This has led to emergency managers being chronically underfunded and under resourced. This means that our emergency managers are continually triaging a moving list of priorities and that despite their best efforts, resource deficits create gaps that negatively impact society and our ability to cope with and recover from large scale emergencies and disasters.
We strive to support our hard-working emergency managers in a variety of ways including but not limited to the following:
- Disaster and Emergency Plan Development
- Resource Mapping and Silo Reduction
- Functional & Engaging ICS training
- Tabletop Exercises and Drills

Essential Organizations
We believe that those that give us identity, keep the fabric of our community functioning, and move us in the right direction should be just as prepared for hardship as large corporations and big-box stores. Additionally, we have seen that the level of preparedness of an organization and its members is directly tied to it’s stability, functionality and longevity. For these reasons we support the Essential Organizations in the following ways:
- Organizational disaster preparedness trainings
- Emergency plan development
- Continuity of Operations Planning
- Personal disaster preparedness training for employees and their families.

Kindergarten-Collage
There seems to be a background conversation that goes something like this, “Climate change is crazy and scary, and no one really knows how to proceed, and the folks running the show are more concerned with personal gain than the well-being of the planet and younger generations. Welp, I’m glad we had this chat. Good luck fixing everything, we’re all depending on you. BYE!”
Not only is this approach unhelpful and needlessly scary, but it also paints a story of an impossible future where everything is destined to be horrific.
We believe that solutions can be found and that younger generations can have successful prosperous futures in developing those solutions. Our aim is to help them do so in a variety of ways.
- After School Programs
- Enrichment Activities
- Summer Camps
- Professional Development
- Leadership Opportunities
- Increased understanding of the systems that keep our societies functioning

How we’re giving back
We Believe that those striving to make the world a better place deserve a leg up.
To back this up, we are now offering free personal disaster preparedness training. When your staff is more equipped for what may come, so is your organization.
“If the recent disasters that have impacted our state have taught us anything, it’s that being prepared can make a big difference.”
-Oregon Emergency Management
During large scale events such as snowstorms, blackouts, flooding and fire, first responders may not be able to reach everyone for hours or even days. This will be especially true after a Cascadia Subduction Zone-earthquake and tsunami. For this reason, experts recommend that Oregon residents should proactively prepare to be self-sufficient for at least two weeks. The preparedness of your organization’s members is directly tied to the stability, functionality and longevity of your organization.
Being Two Weeks Ready does the following;
- Takes pressure off first responders so they can triage effectively and attend to life-threatening situations.
- Ensures you and your family can survive if roads are impassable and no one can reach you with help or supplies.
- Reduces the feeling of helplessness and post-traumatic stress that is often felt by disaster survivors.
In addition to being two weeks ready, Oregon residents are encouraged to:
- Stay informed by signing up for local emergency alerts.
- Make and practice emergency plans.
- Build an emergency kit.
Although this may sound like a lot, the process can be easily broken down into small, manageable bite-sized pieces.
