Oregon Hazards Lab

Using science, technology, and community engagement to understand, detect, and mitigate multi-hazards in the Pacific Northwest.
It’s #FieldWorkFriday!
Last week, our techs visited seismic site SNAKE and other stations across southwest Oregon to keep the network healthy and ready for tiny ground motions. OHAZ often installs @pnsn1 stations near fire lookouts thanks to their quiet, remote locations.

It’s #FieldWorkFriday! OHAZ multi-hazards staff & student techs wrapped up their rope-access training 🪢 to help prep for cert upgrades, test new techniques 🧗, & gear up for next field season. This training keeps them safe, efficient & effective while climbing comms towers!

DYK the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network is managed jointly by UO, UW, and USGS? Together we operate 700+ seismic monitoring stations! #FieldWorkFriday
Field technicians from OHAZ and UW recently teamed up to upgrade VLM, a @pnsn1.bsky.social site NW of Mt. Hood. Team work makes the dream work! 🦆🐾

Today is World Tsunami Awareness Day.
If you are on the coast and feel shaking or get an earthquake early warning alert, you should #DropCoverHoldOn. Wait for shaking to stop. Then evacuate to high ground or inland. A tsunami may be coming!

We just added two new wildfire cameras in the Columbia River Gorge! #FieldworkFriday
The Stacker and Juniper cameras are in WA so they can spot fires on both sides of the river. Thanks Klickitat PUD for hosting them!
Live feeds will be available soon on ALERTWest.live and the @watchduty.org app.

OHAZ just deployed a new wildfire camera at Jackass Butte in Harney County! #FieldworkFriday
Earlier this year, we added a portable camera as a temporary solution to help during fire season. The permanent camera is now installed.
We thank the Bureau of Land Management for sponsoring the project!

Readiness begins at home. Earthquakes can topple furniture, knock books off shelves, and even slide houses off their foundations. But you can improve safety and mitigate damage through seismic retrofits, earthquake insurance, and home hazards hunts. #SeismicSaturday #NationalPreparednessMonth
