REGISTER FOR THE SOCIAL
Join us this summer for a free, three-hour drop-in Pledge to Prepare Summer Social hosted in the Kalapuya Community Room at the Eugene Family YMCA. Community partners will be tabling in the Kalapuya Room, alongside a social gathering for participants of the Y’s January EWEB Pledge to Prepare series, all connected through a shared focus on community preparedness. A YMCA member Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteer will also be stationed in the lobby to share additional resources. This casual gathering is designed specifically for YMCA members who registered for the Y’s EWEB Pledge to Prepare classes in January 2026. It’s a chance to meet others taking the Pledge, swap ideas, ask questions directly to EWEB staff, and build community around emergency readiness. Whether you’re just getting started or already well on your way, you will have opportunities to learn from the experience of others, connect with neighbors, and enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere with complimentary popsicles.
What to Expect:
- Pledge to Prepare social gathering (for January program registrants)
- EWEB staff available for questions
- Community partner tabling and resources
- YMCA member CERT volunteer in the lobby
- Mingling, conversation and popsicles!

About
The earthquake lasted less than a minute. But now the power’s out, cell service is spotty, and the tap has run dry. Would you be ready?
We all want to be prepared for an emergency, but it can be hard to know where to start. Sign up for this session to learn more about the Eugene Water & Electric Board’s Pledge to Prepare program and start your journey toward achieving personal preparedness in 2026.
EWEB’s Pledge to Prepare program breaks down the preparedness process into manageable steps. Each month, you’ll tackle one small checklist, so getting prepared never feels overwhelming or expensive.
Unable to join the in-person sessions? A recorded version of EWEB's Intro to Pledge to Prepare program is available on YouTube and EWEB's website.
Our winter January 2026 EWEB programs have wrapped! Information for future offerings will be shared on this page. Stay tuned!
