Relating to emergency preparedness.

HB 2720 expands the role of Oregon's State Resilience Officer to coordinate state efforts for preparing for and responding to multiple types of disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, and floods. The bill requires the officer to lead implementation of Oregon's Resilience Plan and Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan, oversee continuity planning for state agencies during emergencies, and coordinate with the legislative and judicial branches on resilience efforts. This directly affects state agencies, the Governor's office, and all branches of Oregon government by establishing clearer responsibilities for disaster preparedness and response coordination.
