The Oregon Resilience Plan was adopted in 2013 and proposed a 50-year plan to protect lives and keep commerce flowing following a Cascadia earthquake and tsunami. It looked at critical lifeline infrastructure and buildings, impacts on business and the workforce, and the impact of the tsunami on coastal communities. It has now been over 10 years since the plan was adopted by the Oregon Legislature. It has been used as a planning document for state agencies, local communities and districts. It was used as well as a base document for NIST’s Community Resilience Planning Guide, which expanded it into all hazards and introduced social resilience factors. This session will review the plan, discuss its concepts and recommendations, review the state of its implementation, its impact and the challenges ahead.
About this Resiliency Series
Making our communities resilient means addressing the natural hazards associated with the geological and climatic processes that created the environment we live in. It has become even more challenging as we actively change the climate. Please join us as we explore resilience efforts based on the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire. They examine the impacts these hazards on the built environment and look at how they can be mitigated. The series ends with a moderated panel discussion that steps back to look how these elements fit together and what lessons can be learned.
