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 this year's 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: Come and Visit our Table.
Cascadia Coastal Coalition is working together with the whole community on the rural Pacific NW coast.
Thank you to Florence Rotary and Western Lane Community Foundation for this recognition and for your ongoing support of our emergency communications project and disaster readiness regional speaker series.

Rural Coastal Oregon Hospital Tabletop
Cascadia Coastal Coalition is working closely with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to engage several rural coastal Oregon hospitals in a facilitated tabletop exercise to be held this winter.
Special thanks to the Oregon CISA Director, South Coos Hospital, Curry General Hospital,Lower Umpqua Hospital and Columbia Memorial Hospital! The risk of cybercrime and its impacts are very real. U.S. Healthcare facilities have had an 86% increase in cyberattacks just in the past year. Rural areas are not immune and in fact are increasingly targeted. Steps in prevention, mitigation, planning, incident notification, response and operational continuity for safe and effective patient care are all critical to learn and share.
