OREM's role
As Oregon deals with more frequent and severe disasters, it is essential to have a clear plan for evacuations and support services. While law enforcement manages the immediate evacuation of people along with other first responder partners, the ODHS Office of Resilience and Emergency Management (OREM) works with local communities to:
- Help identify people who need evacuation assistance
- Ensure people are evacuated to a location that meets their needs
To do this, we develop and rely on
partnerships and coordination with public and private organizations at the local and regional levels and with our state and Tribal Nation partners. Genasys EVAC software represents a significant step forward in making sure Oregon is ready for emergencies and can respond quickly and effectively.
