Risky Reality of Our Toxic Mix– 

PSU/Multnomah County Report Review 

“Over 1000 hazardous storage containers at local industries in Multnomah County are in danger of leaking in an earthquake because they were not built to seismic design standards. Those holding hazardous gasses may release toxic plumes into the air that can be life-threatening. These plumes will be carried by the wind to other locations. Other hazmats may spill onto soil and water with dire environmental impacts." —Tank The Tanks 

 

Panelists will present on toxic plume releases following an earthquake and public actions to take:

· Review of the Report: Risks to All Multnomah County Residents: Luke Hanst, Institute of Sustainable Solutions/PSU, a key writer of the report

· Emergency Management of a Toxic Scenario: Chris Voss, Director Multnomah County Emergency Management 

· Community Resilience and Preparedness Strategies: Alice Busch, Multnomah County Emergency Operations, report writer, EMT, former firefighter and former NET

· Public Safety Education Resource:  Information about Community Right to Know 

Joint Moderators: Nancy Hiser and Shawn Looney, Linnton Neighborhood Association, Tank the Tanks, NET team
