Supporting ODART's Whale Run 2024

Cascadia Coastal Coalition supported the Oregon Disaster Airlift Response Team's Whale Run 2024. We worked to coordinate whole community partners at five of the coastal airfields/landing areas in thi\e 2024 field exercise. We also led efforts with State partner, Oregon Office of Resilience and Emergency Management, and with neighborhood groups, MRC and CERT ground crews to develop a process to transport ambulatory people who are relatively healthy but receive regular treatments (e.g., dialysis) that may not be available in a disaster area. These Evacuees would be transported in GA aircraft that would otherwise return empty after delivering much needed food and medical supplies.

Beat the WAVE 2024

Cascadia Coastal Coalition participated in the City of Florence's 'Beat the Wave' Disaster Preparedness Expo.

Cascadia Coastal Coalition is working together with the whole community on the rural Pacific NW coast.
