-KGW Surveying the damage the winter storm brought to Portland | kgw.com

Earthquakes, forest fires, heat domes, severe winter weather, pandemics, wind events, flooding, landslides, volcanoes etc. The link below from the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (ODEM) has info on the specific hazards we could potentially experience in Portland. While each type of hazard has different characteristics and durations, the common theme throughout is the better each individual and community is prepared, the better their experience will be in the event. Many of these types of emergencies have occurred in the past few years.

Although Portland has multiple potential emergency hazards, the personal mitigation for each of these events is the same: have emergency supplies organized, have a family plan, and have some awareness of your community's needs and resources.
