OHA release - For more than a decade, Oregon’s Pathfinder exercise has helped communities across the state practice responding to a major disaster. First launched in 2012, this full‑scale training brings together medical teams, first responders, volunteers, and military partners to prepare for the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and tsunami scenario, one of the most serious natural hazards facing our region.  This year, Pathfinder is coming to Newport for the first time, exercising a casualty collection site for the Cascadia event.  Local agencies will stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder with state and federal partners in a major, two‑day, hands‑on training that strengthens medical readiness and celebrates the power of community.
