Rumble On The River community forums bring together expert voices to explain the risks of having 90% of Oregon’s fuel stored within Portland’s city limits. The Critical Energy Infrastructure (CEI) Hub, a 6-mile stretch of aging tank farms, stands on an earthquake liquefaction zone on the banks of the Willamette River. The CEI Hub poses serious health, safety, cultural, social justice, economic and environmental risks to every Portland neighborhood and the entire Pacific Northwest region. Rumble #9 will center on heat related inequities, crisis management & resilience, understanding the harms inflicted on the Lower Willamette and steps we can take to deal with these long term and immediate issues.
First Unitarian is one of many community partners sponsoring these forums. For more info and links to previous Rumbles contact: (503) 705-1943.v
