EARTHQUAKES
Drop, Cover, and Hold On
When an earthquake alert arrives—or when shaking begins—Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Oregon ShakeAlert warnings can reach most mobile phones through Wireless Emergency Alerts. No separate sign-up is normally required, but emergency alerts should be enabled on your device.
The Oregon Resilience Plan identifies Redmond Municipal Airport as a federal emergency-response staging site and key distribution point expected to support short-term mobility after a Cascadia earthquake. Regional planning also anticipates major logistics activity around the airport and Deschutes County Fairgrounds/Expo Center.
That proximity may bring supplies and response resources sooner than in harder-hit areas west of the Cascades, while roads, airspace, local services, and shelter capacity may also experience heavy demand. Household supplies and a family communication plan remain essential.
Winter storms are the natural hazard Deschutes County residents report experiencing most often. In the county’s 2026 Natural Hazards Survey, more than 770 participants identified winter storms as the leading hazard experienced (62%), ahead of wildfire (58%) and extreme heat (40%).
Keep vehicles fueled, protect against carbon-monoxide hazards, and avoid unnecessary travel when authorities advise staying off the roads.
Volcanic ash can reduce visibility, make roads slippery, damage vehicles and mechanical equipment, enter buildings through air intakes, and become dangerously heavy when wet.
Stay indoors when possible and limit unnecessary exposure.
Close doors and windows and reduce ash entering through outside-air intakes.
Avoid driving unless necessary; vehicles stir up ash and can be damaged by it.
Remove significant roof accumulation carefully. Do not soak roof ash with water.
Follow current instructions from emergency officials and the USGS.
