Locate your nearest BEECN site

Written By Tyler Robinson

A BEECN (short for Basic Earthquake Emergency Communication Node) is a temporary radio communications site staffed by at least two volunteers after a major earthquake that takes down phone lines. BEECNs are places where you can report severe damage or injury or ask for emergency assistance when phones are down.

The The Portland Bureau of Emergency Management (PBEM) hopes to have BEECNs up and running within 24-48 hours of a major earthquake.
