We are excited to announce that the Community Adaptation Pathways, Planning, and Partnerships (CAPPP) StoryMap Collection is now live here. We encourage community members, organizations, policymakers, and all interested partners to visit the StoryMap collection of research project findings that examine Oregon coastal resilience to natural hazards ranging from […]
A new informational flyer (in English and Spanish) that supports increasing awareness on hazard preparedness has been released. A project through the Cascadia CoPes Hub set off to identify multi-use adaptation strategies for disaster risk reduction. Through this project, several videos were created on Tsunami Evacuation Wayfinding and […]
The Cascadia CoPes Hub annually funds 3-5 pilot projects, each designed to engage communities and support emergent research activities. These year-long initiatives aim to address the information needs identified by tribes and other coastal communities. 3 new projects were awarded this year to PI’s:Dr. Felicia Olemta […]
Hub principal investigator and Pacific Northwest Seismic Network director, Harold Tobin, spoke with Washington’s King 5 news network about a recent earthquake in Washington.
Coastal communities may be at increased risk of healthcare access disruptions in a major disaster due to their geographical isolation, limited availability of specialized resources locally, and proximity to hazards.
Research on splay faults in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) from the Cascadia CoPes Hub was recently published in a special issue of Seismica.
Irene Pablo Lora, a Cascadia CoPes Hub CHARTER Fellow, has been named one of the 15 Oregon State University College of Liberal Arts Outstanding Graduating Seniors.
Coastal hazards are inevitable and affect all coastal communities. However, the lasting impacts of these hazards are inequitably distributed, with minority groups often bearing the brunt.
Congratulations to Hub members Dr. Kendall Valentine and Dr. Jamie Donatuto who are the recipients of the 2023 Ocean Decade Champions awards!
Each project engages coastal communities and provides resources to help strengthen the current hazard mitigation infrastructure.
