Relating to emergency preparedness.

HB 2581 expands the duties of Oregon's State Resilience Officer, shifting their focus from primarily seismic events to an "all-hazard" approach for emergency preparedness. The bill amends existing law to include planning and preparation for a wider range of events, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, flooding, and other natural or human-made disasters. This change ensures the officer directs and coordinates state agency planning for overall hazard safety and resilience. Additionally, it clarifies that the legislative and judicial branches will monitor the effectiveness of this broader hazard safety and resilience planning within their respective branches.
