Help Us Shape the Plan for a Resilient Oregon (PRO)
The office of Governor Kotek is developing the Plan for a Resilient Oregon (PRO), a resilience strategy to help Oregon communities prepare for and thrive in the face of increasingly severe disasters. Beyond Toxics has partnered with the State of Oregon to hold several in-person events this winter to ensure the community's voices are reflected in the PRO.
We invite Lane County residents to participate in a short online survey (10-15 minutes) to share their ideas, experiences, and priorities for building resilience. We encourage all to participate, whether you live on the coast, a rural fire district, or an urban neighborhood.
The survey is available in both English and Spanish.
The survey closes April 1, 2026.
