<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The past two years of novel coronavirus pandemic have dramatically changed how psychologists approach clinical practice. We have all had to be nimble to address the needs of our clients
and the demands of our community. The Oregon Board of Psychology (OBOP) convened an ad-hoc COVID-19 Workgroup in 2020 to assist psychologists (and their clients) in determining best practices in light of State-level health care requirements (see frequently
asked questions at <a href="https://www.oregon.gov/psychology/Pages/COVID-19.aspx">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Workgroup is now seeking to proactively spur Oregon psychologists to consider preparations for possible future disasters. Towards this goal, we request your input. Would you be interested
in sharing modifications or preparations you made that have helped you to maintain your practice?
