Tillamook PUD Awards Grant for Oceanside Emergency
Assembly and Assistance Center
Every year, the Tillamook Peoples’ Utility District (“TPUD”) distributes Community Support Grants to organizations around the county. When TPUD announced the grants for 2025, they included $3500 sought by the Oceanside Protection Society community foundation to help equip OVERT’s Emergency Assembly and Assistance facility at the Oceanside Chapel. OVERT will use the funds to purchase two portable 2400-watt power banks with solar charging panels. Together with a new propane-powered generator (recently funded by community donations) and propane storage tanks, these power banks will complete OVERT’s initiative to make power available at the Chapel for residents and stranded visitors in the event of a disaster event that disrupts the PUD’s regular service.
