This brief pause helps restore your energy and bring a sense of calm and focus to the rest of your week.Emergency Preparedness and Community Building:Program: ReadySetConnectThis is a monthly virtual meet-up for disabled people to learn how to prepare for emergencies and share resources with each other. Registered people receive an accessible resource list for all topics, articles, and resources shared during and after the virtual meet-up.Programs: Disability Resilience Collective: Building Emergency Readiness TogetherThis is a new monthly virtual statewide meet-up where organizations can come together and share resources, brainstorm new ideas, and discuss ways to strengthen emergency preparedness within the disability community. This collaborative space will focus on fostering resilience, mutual support, and proactive planning for access and inclusion before, during, and after emergencies. Together, we can buildcollective strategies to ensure the needs of disabled individuals are met in all stages of emergency readiness.Program: P-CEP ProgramUpstream Access provides Person-Centered Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) programming to help disabled people and older adults identify their individual strengths, support needs, and resources before an emergency. Through workshops, community events, and one-on-one sessions with trained P-CEP Peer Facilitators, participants develop personalized preparedness strategies based on their own lives andpriorities. The program strengthens individual and collective resilience while building social connections and increasing access to practical emergency preparedness resources.Program: Backup & Solar Power ProgramUpstream Access works to increase access to backup power and portable solar and rechargeable devices for disabled people and others who rely on electricity for health, safety, communication, mobility, and independence. The program provides individualized backup power solutions and devices such as solar or rechargeable lights, emergency radios, fans, phone chargers, and other preparedness equipment based on each persons needs. Participants receive education and hands-on support to safely use their equipment, recognizing that access to power is access to life and helping people remain safer, connected, and more independent during power outages and emergencies.Program: Statewide Emergency ResponseUpstream Access provides disability-inclusive emergency response across Oregon, working with community partners to reach disabled people and others who may face barriers accessing traditional disaster resources. During wildfires, extreme weather, power outages, and other emergencies, we mobilize supplies such as cooling and hygiene items, emergency radios, backup power, charging devices, sensoryand mental health supports, and other resources based on community needs. Our response prioritizes accessibility and individual choice, allowing people to identify the supplies and support that work best for them rather than relying on one-size-fits-all kits. We also build relationships with local organizations andemergency response partners so communities are better connected before, during, and after disasters.Program: Seasonal Preparedness & Mental Health WorkshopsUpstream Access provides seasonal preparedness and mental health resilience workshops that help disabled people prepare for extreme heat, cold weather, wildfire smoke, power outages, and other emergencies. Workshops provide practical preparedness information while creating opportunities for participants to build social connections and identify strategies that support their emotional well-beingduring stressful situations. Participants can personalize cooling, seasonal preparedness, sensory, or mental health resilience kits by choosing items that work best for their individual needs. These workshops combine practical preparedness with social connectedness to strengthen both individual and collective resilience. 270411 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 8 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false OR X X ERIN TAYLOR 9712415339 17453 SW MCKNIGHT LN BEAVERTON OR 97006 ERIN TAYLOR Dir of Advocacy 40.00 0.00 X X 88623 0 0 JENNI CICERONE Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 21158 0 0 MERRY CARLSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 2946 0 0 BROOK MCCALL President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NICOLE BRESNAHAN Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KIERSI COLEMAN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA RIDLER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOSH ESPANTO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SYLACE SRINIVASAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE BASTIAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TARALYNN RAYBUM Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 112727 0 false false false 0 246448 225030 471478 COMMUNITY EDUCATION FEES 10350 10350 10350 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 500 500 500 482328 10350 500 X 0 0 0 0 88624 41033 47414 177 0 24629 24629 0 0 12106 6767 5321 18 0 275 275 19610 19610 0 0 0 65347 64799 548 640 640 379 40 339 1996 1996 0 5658 5658 5873 5873 0 0 0 0 1964 1964 2585 2585 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 109038 109038 EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS, SUPPLIES 7699 7699 0 346423 270411 75817 195 49151 140995 5 5 0 87499 0 0 0 0 375 0 12288 1964 10324 0 0 0 0 0 49531 238823 5506 22834 26262 50034 31768 72868 X 17763 165955 17763 165955 49531 238823 135905 12287 X false false false X 73210 123236 54470 137544 487672 876132 0 0 0 0 73210 123236 54470 137544 487672 876132 0 0 876132 0 0 0 0 73210 123236 54470 137544 487672 876132 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 12288 1964 10324 10324 REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS 50033 Rounding 1 50034 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 The Executive Director and one of the board members, Laura Ridler, are life partners.
