Energy resilience centers provide refuge and critical services for communities and businesses when disaster strikes. In the face of devastating wildfires, Cascadia seismic hazard, and other disruptive grid hazards, many communities in Oregon are exploring energy resilience centers as an essential infrastructure to safeguard lives and livelihoods.

Solar Oregon is thrilled to be joined by two prominent experts who have helped communities across the country adopt energy resilience centers. Please join this free webinar and learn how your community can take the first step toward disaster preparedness.
