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.

Entering the 2026 college football season, the Oregon Ducks are looking to not only win their first national championship in program history but also their second Big Ten title in the last three seasons.
When the Ducks joined the Big Ten in 2024, they kicked off their inaugural season in the conference in style, finishing the regular season undefeated at 13-0. This regular season was concluded with a thrilling 45-37 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten championship game.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, however, got revenge for their loss to the Ducks at Autzen Stadium earlier in the regular season, beating Oregon 41-21 in the CFP Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl. Entering the 2026 season, here’s a look at the Ducks’ chances of winning the Big Ten for the second time.
Oregon Ducks Big Ten Title Odds: Who’s The Biggest Threat?
According to the latest betting odds by FanDuel Sportsbook, the Ducks have +270 odds to win the Big Ten championship this season. The one team ahead of them is the Ohio State Buckeyes at +190, who, believe it or not, are in search of their first Big Ten title since 2020. The Buckeyes were upset by the Indiana Hoosiers 13-10 in the Big Ten championship last season.
Among the top teams in the Big Ten next season, Ohio State poses the biggest threat to the Ducks’ chances of not only winning a conference title but also the national championship. The Buckeyes and Ducks will face off in what could be the game of the year in Columbus on Nov. 7.
As exciting as this matchup will be for college football fans, it likely won’t be the only one between the Buckeyes and Ducks. Regardless of which team wins the Nov. 7 showdown in Columbus, the Buckeyes and Ducks could match up again in the Big Ten title game and in the CFP.
Other Teams That Pose a Threat to Oregon
While the Buckeyes are the main threat to the Ducks’ Big Ten title aspirations, other teams will be worth watching. One of those teams is the defending national champions, the Indiana Hoosiers.
Despite the key losses this offseason, which include Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, coach Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers restocked talent with the addition of TCU Horned Frogs transfer quarterback Josh Hoover and Michigan State Spartans wide receiver Nick Marsh.
The only two losses that the Ducks suffered last season came against the Hoosiers. If the two face off in the Big Ten championship, Indiana looks to continue its dominance over the Ducks. The Hoosiers and Ducks don’t play each other during the regular season.
The USC Trojans, whom the Ducks will face at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Sept. 26, also look to knock off Oregon in what should be one of the top games of the first month of the college football season. Oregon coach Dan Lanning is undefeated 2-0 against USC’s Lincoln Riley and looks to extend the Ducks’ winning streak against the Trojans to five games.
