Building resilience by
uniting community.
In NW Portland, along the Willamette River,
there are over 600 tanks that hold
90% of Oregon’s fuel.
Researchers have found that when the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake hits, it will release up to
193 million gallons of fuel into the water and atmosphere.

Stop The Spill Video
When the Cascadia Subduction Zone hits, what will happen to the CEI Hub?

Stop the Spill is a 3.5 min animated video that talks about the potential oil spill.
