Southwestern Oregon Preppers (SWOP) will be holding a meeting at Noon on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at the Coos Bay Public Library, 525 Anderson Ave, Coos Bay, OR 97420.

The main topic is “PERSONAL SURVIVAL STORIES.” Some of our members have survived fires, floods, earthquakes, and other disasters, both natural and man-made, in the USA and abroad. We will hear first hand experiences from fellow members.

SWOP meetings always start with a question and answer period before the main topic so all in attendance get a chance to participate.

This is a free public meeting to get to know fellow local preppers in southwestern Oregon counties and to exchange information and ideas. It is important for individuals to understand that they will be “on their own” in the event of a disaster and not depend on receiving outside help. Join Southwestern Oregon Preppers on Facebook and/or meetup.com.

Its no secret that things are getting dicey in the world. Its important to be prepared and not afraid. Some believe they can do it alone, others feel more can be done in a group. Personally I feel the lone wolf is more of a disadvantage, but that’s up to the individual to decide. Its piece of mind in event of some sort of SHTF event.
