Oregon’s largest coastal earthquake drill held in Newport
LINCOLN , Ore. (KPTV) – On Wednesday, state and local leaders in Lincoln County gathered to give an inside look at how the state is poised for what they’re calling ‘Oregon’s largest coastal earthquake preparedness exercise.’
Representatives say a potential Cascadia earthquake could be catastrophic.
“The first 4 – 5 minutes 20,000 people can be gone. 250,000 to 300,000 the first three weeks because, think about it, slowly the bridges are gone. Transportation is gone. How to get food and shelter,” said state Rep. Paul Evans.
The event was made possible by funding from the Oregon Department of Human Services, state legislators, Lincoln County, and ODHS’ Oregon Department of Human Services Office of Resilience and Emergency Management.
A ‘dress rehearsal’ of what an emergency evacuation assembly point would look like after a seismic event was at the Newport Municpal Airport.
This evacuation point consists of multiple tents that can house up to 100 people for two weeks. Along with meals, showers, and a medical tent.
ODHA says this not just a shelter, but a transition place to help those with injuries, the elderly, or those who are ill.
“when a major event lands here, we’re gonna be looking at 100,000 people. Having the capacity here to assemble people and to move them to a safer local is going to be critically important,” said state Rep. David Gomberg.
At a cost of $500,000 a second location is placed at Tillamook Municipal Airport.
ODHA says being located at an airport makes it easy for people to go east for resources.
To ensure your family is quake-ready , Lincoln County says to have a ‘go-kit’ ready at home.
“Think about non-perishable food items. If that’s canned, you’re gonna want can opener. We encourage people to have comfort items for their kids and themselves medication,” said Emergency Manager Samantha Buckley.
State Rep. Gomberg had his own experience during a fire evacuation with his family. He says having a plan is critical.
“Part of that plan also has to be, where do you go? How do you communicate? How do you connect? Where do you gather and where do you go next?” said Gomberg. “If we didn’t have a plan that day, we wouldn’t have had the time we needed to save ourselves.”
A third location in Coquille is in progress, with hope for even more in the future.

Marion County sheriff releases sex offender information under Oregon public safety law
KEIZER, Ore. — Marion County officials are alerting the public about a registered sex offender living in Keizer, saying the notification is intended to support public awareness and safety.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office said it is releasing the information pursuant to ORS 163A.215, which authorizes Community Corrections to inform the public when the release of such information will enhance public safety and protection.
The sheriff’s office said Julian Ivan Herrera has been convicted of a sex offense requiring registration with the Oregon State Police and, based on his criminal history, has been classified at a level indicating a potential to re-offend.
Herrera’s listed residence is 699 Lost Ln N in Keizer. He is described as a 41-year-old Black man who is 5-foot-4 and weighs 125 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. His SID number is 18104153, and his date of birth is Nov. 1,1984.
According to the sheriff’s office, Herrera is on supervised probation for the crimes of harassment and sex abuse in the third degree. His prior convictions include contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor, attempted assault IV, and public indecency.
The sheriff’s office said Herrera was granted supervision on March 23, 2026, and his supervision is set to expire March 22,2031.
Victims of Herrera include a minor female known to him and an adult male known to him, according to the sheriff’s office.
Special conditions listed by the sheriff’s office include no contact with minors, not frequenting places where minors congregate, and no alcohol or other intoxicating substances.

Career criminal creep with 166 arrests, 55 convictions since 1999 sentenced to life in prison
An Oregon creep with a record-setting rap sheet cataloguing a staggering 166 arrests dating back to his teens was finally sentenced to life in prison on Friday.
Joshua Cory Nealy, 41, was slapped with the hefty life sentence without possibility for parole for a January 2023 arrest where he flashed a female clothing store employee and a security officer, according to a news release from the Washington County District Attorney’s Office.
The misdemeanor charge, which would usually land first-time offenders behind bars for just one year, did him in after a whopping 55 prior convictions, including seven felony charges.
Nealy was already on parole when he strolled into the Washington Square Mall in Portland and started schmoozing with a skeptical clothing store clerk.
The repeat offender sifted aimlessly through the store and collected a random assortment of clothes. He asked the female clerk for assistance while he was nude in the store’s changing room — then “opened the door fully and exposed himself to her,” the release said.
Nealy invited the woman to have sex and attempted to cajole her into the dressing room. The victim quickly flagged down a security officer, who Nealy also flashed before fleeing the store with a stolen pair of sunglasses.
Officers with the Tigard Police Department — located one town over from the mall — nabbed the registered sex offender that same day.
Before Washington County Circuit Judge Theodore Sims remanded Nealy to life in prison on Friday, his attorneys tried to argue that the repeat offender had a “compromised mental state.”
The lawyers cited a police report from Nealy’s 2007 attempted rape conviction that described how he “was using ‘crank’,” the street term for meth, “had been awake for two days and expressed his belief that his mother was the Queen of Southern England,” as reported by Oregon Live.

They also noted the defense’s sentencing memo for his first public indecency conviction, where he was apparently talking gibberish during the ordeal.
Then, the lawyers alleged that Nealy was “under the influence” during the incident at the Portland mall.
Despite their efforts, Nealy was handed the life sentence in accordance with a state statute that requires the imposition for defendants who have two prior felony sex crime convictions.
Court records obtained by Oregon Live show that Nealy still has two outstanding cases for assault and attempted assault in Washington County.
Nealy, whose criminal record dates back to when he was just 14 years old, was previously charged with attempted rape, robbery, various assaults, failure to report as a sex offender and more.
