Description
In the Pacific Northwest, we are faced with a 1 in 3 chance that a large earthquake will hit our community within the next 50 years. At Portland Community College, most of our students are not prepared for a disaster of this magnitude. The PCC Ready Bag & Community Resilience Project was created in order to increase equity on our campus through education, community building, and free “Ready Bag" starter kits. This project utilized community engagement and OER to create a student-centered project where students created openly-licensed materials to be shared with their community (and beyond). This project hopes to transform the least prepared into potential leaders in their families and neighborhoods. In this session, the OER resources that were created by PCC students will be shared.
