Jeremy O'Leary is gonna lay down some knowledge on Portland's "Community Emergency Response Teams" and start a discussion of how Portland can plan ahead for catastrophes.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to come join in on the discussion! This talk was inspired by a conversation at an earlier CivicWebs that resulted in the notes on the above linked wiki page.

There will be free snacks! If you have trouble getting into the Albers milling co bldg, call Max at 503 869 3861

Come and work with developers, designers, citizens, librarians, statisticians and urban planners to brainstorm and create applications that improve the city you live in. You don't need to process massive data sets, or have knowledge of the latest fancy database. We encourage "small data" projects and creativity in solving problems.

Examples of things to do: Projects such as: http://grandmagrandma.com/page/projects Opening data: http://www.opendataday.org Scraping public data: http://scraperwiki.com/search/boston

Max Ogden will be co-hacking from Boston, where he's currently placed for his Code for America fellowship.
