The Oregon Climate Action Commission was originally created as the Oregon Global Warming Commission by the 2007 Oregon Legislature. In 2023, the Legislature passed House Bill 3409, which modernized the commission and renamed it to the Oregon Climate Action Commission. The modernization was inspired by the commission’s Climate Action Roadmap to 2030.

When government entities, community members, organizations, and businesses voice different opinions about how to solve a problem or plan for the future, Oregon Consensus can help. They help people examine and weigh diverse viewpoints and interests and find commonalities.

The Oregon Department of Transportation has an important supporting role in emergency response and disaster recovery. A functional transportation system is crucial for getting emergency responders and life-saving supplies where they need to go, and in helping promote economic recovery after a disaster.

The Climate Change Adaptation Program is leading an "all hands on deck" effort at ODOT to improve preparation, response and recovery from climate change challenges. The roadmap incorporates results from ODOT’s statewide climate hazards risk analysis, drawing from corridor-scale risk maps of the state highway system. This information can now be used to inform project planning and prioritization by locating transportation corridors at high risk to climate hazards. The roadmap is also Oregon's FHWA-approved statewide Resilience Improvement Plan (RIP) for the PROTECT Discretionary Grant Program.

The Oregon Department of Forestry and Oregon State Fire Marshal were tasked by the Legislature through House Bill 5701 (2024) to convene a workgroup to identify solutions for sustainable wildfire mitigation and suppression funding to address the growing wildfire crisis.
Workgroup members represent a wide range of partners and will work closely with the Governor’s Wildfire Programs Advisory Council. The agencies will report on the group’s progress to the Emergency Board in December and during the 2025 Legislative Session.

Whatever the scenario, as the federal government's emergency management and preparedness agency, FEMA serves in a coordination and integration role, collaborating with the agency's local, state, federal, tribal, private sector and non-profit partners before, during and after disasters to ensure that all survivors are included and their needs are met.
