Emergency Resources
Wildfires and other natural disasters and emergency situations can cause massive hardship for working Oregonians, including OSEA members. Our union is proud to support one another during difficult times through our member assistance fund and partnerships throughout the community. We have compiled the resources below for those in need and those seeking to help.
