Our goal is to proactively prepare for events so they do not turn into disasters.<\/h6>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

We believe that strong partnerships are fundamental to effective disaster risk reduction.<\/p>\n\n

In the Gorge, our counties, businesses, fire, police, city, volunteers, transit and land agencies work together so that our communities are better prepared.<\/p>\n\n

We use research to inform risk reduction, adapted to suit our unique region through regular trainings.<\/p>\n\n

And we engage our community with practical knowledge and effective tools that empower them to reduce risk.<\/p>\n\n
