Brookings Oregon is the southernmost Oregon city on the Pacific coast and sits in Curry County — one of the most isolated counties in the western US, with limited road access and no major population centers for hours in any direction. Curry County sits directly on the Cascadia Subduction Zone with extreme earthquake and tsunami risk. The community also faces significant wildfire risk in the surrounding Siskiyou National Forest. The isolation of Curry County means emergency response will be severely delayed following a major Cascadia earthquake.
