EWEB sponsors financial preparedness seminar April 24

Presenter: Be 2 Weeks Ready—not just with emergency supplies, but financially, too. EWEB is hosting a webinar April 24 on financial preparedness. Emergency Manager Jenny Demaris:

Jenny Demaris (EWEB): Hey everybody, Jenny from Eugene Water and Electric Board, and I want to tell you about an exciting presentation that we have coming up.

[00:00:19] We are co-hosting with our city of Eugene, so thanks to them, we have invited Oregon Department of Financial Regulation to come here to your Eugene community, and they will be doing a one-hour presentation on your financial readiness.

[00:00:34] What do you need to do to be ready for financial concerns, whether it’s post-disaster, an economic issue, perhaps you suffered a structure fire and your insurance company isn’t working with you. So we will have a public session from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at our Roosevelt facility April 24.

[00:00:55] And then we will also be able to livestream that. So if you don’t want to drive across town but you’re comfortable with the internet, you can sign up and register and you’ll be able to watch right there, from home.

[00:01:06] And then we’re thinking we should be able to record it and then it’ll be available on both our website as well as the city of Eugene.

[00:01:12] Not very often we get a subject matter expert to come right here where we’re at, and that financial readiness is one of the first and last pieces that we need for disaster recovery.

[00:01:23] So, check our website, listen to the news, find that social media, and then April 24th we really hope that you’ll come out to see us and share that presentation with us.

[00:01:33] Presenter: That’s Emergency Manager Jenny Demaris, announcing an upcoming session on financial readiness April 24. Sign up through EWEB.org.
