Calendar Event Sorting

At the top, the 24/7/365 SAMHSA Disaster Helpline and similar links.

Next, Bundled “All Day” Events

Some organizations (like 12 step recovery programs, AA, NA, AlAnon, etc.) have so many events happening throughout the day that they need to be in a bundled listing to spare endless scrolling.  Often there is a link to look up events by zip code and other criteria.

Lastly, Time-Specific Events

So you can see what’s happening in the next hours, time specific events are tagged and listed by start time from 12:01am early morning to 11:59pm late night.  There can be events and warmlines operating in different time zones, though we try to list all in Oregon’s Pacific Time Zone.

Getting Help in a Disaster or Emergency

Natural disasters can strike with little or no warning, and Medicare offers resources to help people get the care they need if an emergency is declared and evacuation becomes necessary. This posting outlines how to access prescriptions, doctors, and critical equipment during a declared emergency.

Getting Care

Original Medicare members can see any doctor who accepts Medicare, while Medicare Advantage members should contact their plan about temporary access options. The following resources outline what to do for prescriptions, doctor visits, and critical care during a declared emergency.

Date(s): Available year-round; applies whenever a federal, state, or local emergency or disaster is declared

Format: Virtual

Platform: Medicare.gov/emergency

Prescription Drugs

You can transfer most prescriptions to another in-network pharmacy during an emergency, then return to your regular pharmacy afterward. If you need an out-of-network pharmacy, contact your Medicare drug plan.

Seeing a Doctor

With Original Medicare, you can see any doctor who accepts Medicare. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan or other Medicare health plan, contact your plan about temporary options, such as using an out-of-network provider.

Critical Care & Equipment

Need access to cancer treatments, dialysis, or a replacement wheelchair or walker? Visit Medicare.gov/emergency to learn more about getting the care and equipment you need during an emergency.
