Oregon has 45 Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs), which have played a unique role at the intersection of natural disasters and human and natural systems for more than 80 years. This panel brings together four SWCDs from across Oregon—Gilliam, Wheeler, Umatilla, and Upper Willamette—to discuss their districts’ roles and innovative approaches to supporting communities and natural systems before, during, and after natural disasters. Though they represent only a sample, all four have developed robust responses to disasters or contributed to recovery and response planning for events ranging from wildfires to floods. We’ll hear personal stories, accounts, and lessons learned; explore the power of SWCDs and their partnerships; and discuss next steps and calls to action. The goal is to raise awareness of SWCDs’ role in disaster resilience and how they can bridge gaps and build strong partnerships with community members, government and nonprofit organizations, and Tribal Nations, all while continuing their work and securing the support and resources needed to build long-term, generational resilience.
