SUMMARY:Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Perilous Fuel Tanks: Oregon’s Ticking Time Bomb\nPlease join us on December 4 for the online event Perilous Fuel Tanks: Oregon’s Ticking Time Bomb. This event is a panel discussion about the long-reaching environmental effects of a collapse of the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub (CEI Hub); the statewide consequences for our fuel supply; and past\, current\, and future state actions. The panelists will answer questions that attendees submit beforehand when they register for the event. \n\nWhat: Perilous Fuel Tanks: Oregon’s Ticking Time Bomb\nDate: December 4\, 2025\nTime: 6:00 – 7:30 p.m.\nLocation: Online\nRegister to Join: Register using this link: bit.ly/4heBKXa (note: this link will take you to a registration page hosted by Consolidated Oregon Indivisible Network (COIN) \n\n\nRegister\n\nBackground\nThe CEI Hub holds 90 percent of Oregon’s liquid fuel supply and is located along the banks of the Willamette River in Northwest Portland\, across the street from Forest Park and close to where the Willamette meets the Columbia River. Many of these fuel tanks were built over 70 years ago\, before seismic standards were in place\, and are located on liquefiable infill soil. This location is considered a quadruple hazard zone because it is vulnerable to earthquakes\, wildfires\, landslides\, floods\, and has great potential for a massive oil spill. With the growing risk of urban forest fires and the likelihood of the Cascadia Subduction Zone (“CSZ”) earthquake\, these tanks are in a perilous position. Without significant changes\, one event could lead to a complete collapse of our state’s fuel system and cause a multi-billion-dollar public health and environmental disaster. A disaster at the CEI Hub will have far-reaching impacts and will affect the entire state. \nPanelists will include: \nModerator – Michael Dembrow\, retired Oregon State Senator\nMichael Dembrow retired from the Oregon legislature in 2025 after representing Southeast Portland\, first as a state representative (HD 45\, 2009-2013) and then as a state senator (SD 23\, 2013-2025). Dembrow was the champion of Senate Bill 1567 (2022)\, which created the first regulations designed to reduce the seismic risks of the state’s largest bulk fuel terminals. This bill is the first step towards protecting against infrastructure failure during a major seismic event. \nRepresentative Thuy Tran\nThuy Tran has represented Northeast Portland House District 45 since 2023. During the 2025 legislative session\, Representative Tran successfully shepherded four CEI Hub-related bills through her House Emergency Management Committee to the joint Ways & Means Committee. None were funded. She plans to bring some of these policies back in 2026. Representative Tran has made protecting the state from a major disaster at the CEI Hub one of her top legislative priorities. \nLuke Hanst\nLuke works at Portland State University as the Partnerships Manager for the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department. In that capacity\, he has researched and reported key findings on risks associated with the CEI Hub\, including a 2023 report for Multnomah County on the risks of toxic releases from a CSZ earthquake. Hanst has worked closely as an expert advisor and stakeholder convener with state and local policymakers\, businesses\, and community advocates.  \nKate Murphy\nKate is the Senior Community Organizer at Columbia Riverkeeper. She supports community members along the Columbia River in Oregon and Washington\, engaging residents and fighting to protect our region from fuel refineries\, pipelines\, terminals\, and other threats to the Columbia River ecosystem. \nSponsored by: Consolidated Oregon Indivisible Network (COIN); 350PDX; Beyond Toxics; CEI Hub Task Force; Columbia Riverkeeper; Community for Earth\, First Unitarian Portland; Linnton Neighborhood Association’s Tank the Tanks; League of Women Voters-OR; MCAT; Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility; Risk Bond Coalition; Sierra Club Oregon Chapter; Southern Oregon Climate Action Network; Willamette Riverkeeper.

More than 45 neighborhood associations and 35 other organizations signed a letter calling on the City Council to prioritize the health and safety of Portland communities and our environment in upcoming Council decisions on the CEI Hub. \nWhat: Public announcement of the delivery of this letter. \nWhen: Tuesday March 31 at 11:00 a.m. \nWhere: Augustana Lutheran Church – 2710 NE 14th Ave.\, Portland\, OR 97212   \nCost: Free! \nParking: Street parking available\, bikes welcome! \nPublic Transportation: TriMet busses 8 and 24 have stops nearby \nRemarks by: \n\nKhanh Pham; Oregon State Senate District 23\nSusheela Jayapal; Former Multnomah County Commissioner\nPatricia Kullberg; MD\, MPH–Multnomah County Medical Director 1988-2008\, Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility\nDavid Labby; Retired Physician\, Tank the Tanks\nNikki Mandell; CEI Hub Task Force\nTaylor Villucci; Vernon Neighbor\n\nThe letter was initiated by the CEI Hub Task Force\, who are committed to informing community members about the hazards of having 90 percent of Oregon’s fuel and a mix of toxics stored within Portland’s city limits. The letter will be delivered to Mayor Wilson\, Portland City Council\, and City Manager. Raymond C. Lee III. \nAmong other things\, the letter urges the City Council to vote for proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code that would halt the expansion of flammable\, combustible and toxic materials on the seismically unstable land of the Critical Energy Infrastructure (CEI) Hub.  \nIn part\, the letter states: \n“Public input on decisions regarding our safety and health is vital in mitigating and preventing further damage to the well being of our communities and natural environment.  \nWe\, the undersigned Portland Neighborhood Associations and community and faith based organizations therefore support the following: \n\nThe City adopt a policy that any economic development must not increase the dangers at the CEI Hub. \nThe City of Portland’s CEI Hub Policy Project (to amend the Comprehensive Plan and zoning code) should include all types of fuels or materials that are combustible\, flammable or toxic to reduce risks at the Hub.\nThe Comprehensive Plan must prohibit new or expanded storage or transport of any type* of fuels or materials at the CEI Hub that are combustible\, flammable\, or toxic on soils deemed vulnerable to lateral spread due to liquefaction from earthquake shaking.\nThe Comprehensive Plan must prohibit development at the CEI Hub that would lead Portland to become a national or international export hub for combustible\, flammable\, or toxic materials. \nThe City work with local and state officials and agencies to develop and fully resource and fund the capacity to respond to emergencies at the CEI Hub. \n\nWe are looking to our city government to lead the transition to a safer environment for all of us.”  \nSignatories: \nNeighborhood Associations\nAlameda Neighborhood Association\nArbor Lodge Neighborhood Association\nArlington Heights Neighborhood Association\nArnold Creek Neighborhood Association\nAshcreek-Crestwood Neighborhood Association\nBoise Neighborhood Association\nBridgeton Neighborhood Association\nBridgeton Neighborhood Association Clean and Green Team\nBrooklyn Action Corps\nBuckman Neighborhood Association\nCathedral Park Neighborhood Association\nDowntown Neighborhood Association\nEast Columbia Neighborhood Association\nFoster Powell Neighborhood Association\nGrant Park Neighborhood Association\nGoose Hollow Neighborhood Association\nHayhurst Neighborhood Association\nHazelwood Neighborhood Association\nHillsdale Neighborhood Association\nHillside Neighborhood Association\nIrvington Neighborhood Association\nKenton Neighborhood Association\nKerns Neighborhood Association\nLaurelhurst Neighborhood Association\nLinnton Neighborhood Association\nLloyd EcoDistrict\nMadison Neighborhood Association\nMaplewood Neighborhood Association\nMultnomah Neighborhood Association\nMt.

SUMMARY:Wyden Town Hall - Wasco County 3/31 at 12 p.m.
DESCRIPTION:Senator Ron Wyden is hosting a town hall in Wasco County on March 31\nHave you heard about the proposed public-land giveaway of 150-acres in the Mount Hood National Forest? Now is your chance to urge Senator Wyden to oppose this public land giveaway. \n\nWhat: Wyden Town Hall – Wasco County \nWhen: March 31\, 2026 at 12 p.m.\nWhere: Fort Dalles Readiness Center 402 E Scenic Dr.\, The Dalles\, OR\nWhy: Tell Senator Wyden: No Mt. Hood public land giveaway to benefit data centers \n\nLearn more about the issue here. \nColumbia Riverkeeper is part of a coalition of nonprofits who are calling on Senator Ron Wyden to oppose HR 655\, a bill that would transfer roughly 150 acres of public land from the Mount Hood National Forest to the City of The Dalles\, where data centers are causing energy and water demands to skyrocket. \nHR 655 passed in the House of Representatives in December\, and is now before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee\, where Senator Wyden is a committee member. \nSenator Wyden needs to hear from you to stop this public-land giveaway designed to skirt critical environmental and stakeholder engagement laws. \nNOTE: For everyone’s security\, backpacks and large bags will not be allowed in the town halls. Similar to major sporting events\, there is a clear bag policy for town halls\, allowing only clear bags (max 12″x 6″x12″)\, one-gallon clear plastic bags\, or small clutches (max 4.5″x 6.5″)\, plus essential items like medical bags or infant necessities\, with no storage for disallowed bags.
