The Disappearance Of Vanport, Oregon – And The Emergence of A Venture To Stop Flood Disasters
Descendants of the Vanport, Oregon flood are working to build software that increases preparedness for floods, decreases insurance losses, and expands buildable land.
Portland, Oregon, 6th June 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, In a bid to prevent future flood disasters, descendants of the Vanport, Oregon flood are developing advanced software aimed at improving flood preparedness. This initiative not only aims to mitigate insurance losses but also to increase the availability of buildable land.
“Being prepared for a flood makes all the difference in the world. I was shocked to hear that many Vanport residents were informed on the day of the flood, that the levee system would not fail them. I think the challenge here is preparedness – and with all of our technology, we should have better-prepared cities. I think Vanport Technologies has what it takes to get it done,” said newly appointed Public Relations representative for Vanport Technologies, Elizabeth Gessesse.
Vanport Technologies has emerged as a pioneering force in floodplain mapping technology, drawing inspiration from the tragic flood of 1948 that engulfed Vanport, Oregon. Recognizing the critical need for advanced tools to mitigate the impact of such natural disasters, the company has dedicated itself to developing cutting-edge mapping technology to provide accurate and real-time flood risk assessments and address other floodplain challenges.
This technology not only contributes to proactive disaster management but also honors the legacy of the past by striving to prevent similar catastrophes in vulnerable regions. Through their innovative approach, Vanport Technologies is at the forefront of creating solutions that safeguard communities against the devastating consequences of floods.
The flood of 1948 that devastated Vanport, Oregon remains a poignant chapter in the region’s history, marking one of the most catastrophic events in the Pacific Northwest. Vanport, a hastily constructed city near Portland, emerged during World War II as a temporary housing solution for the influx of workers supporting the war effort. Built in 1942, Vanport housed a diverse population, including African Americans who migrated to the area seeking employment in shipyards.
The catastrophe unfolded on May 30, 1948, when the Columbia River, swollen by heavy snowmelt and continuous rainfall, breached its levees. The town, situated on low-lying ground and vulnerable to natural disasters, proved unable to withstand the force of the surging waters. The breach led to the sudden and catastrophic flooding of Vanport, submerging the town under several feet of water within hours.
One of the primary factors contributing to the severity of the disaster was the lack of proper infrastructure and planning in the construction of Vanport. The town was constructed hastily and on an inadequate foundation, with minimal consideration given to potential environmental risks. When the Columbia River surged beyond its banks, the inadequacies of the levee system became painfully apparent, resulting in widespread devastation.
Tragically, the flood claimed the lives of at least 15 people, displaced thousands, and left the majority of Vanport’s buildings in ruins. The aftermath of the disaster exposed the vulnerabilities of makeshift communities and underscored the importance of thoughtful urban planning and infrastructure development. The flood also disproportionately affected the African American population, as they were concentrated in the low-lying areas of the town.
The destruction of Vanport had lasting implications for the residents who lost their homes and belongings. Many were forced to relocate, scattering throughout the Portland metropolitan area. The incident prompted a reevaluation of emergency preparedness and urban planning in the region, leading to improvements in flood control measures and infrastructure development.
The flood of 1948 and the subsequent demise of Vanport serve as a somber reminder of the importance of thorough planning and infrastructure resilience in the face of natural disasters. The event left an indelible mark on the collective memory of the Pacific Northwest, prompting a commitment to learning from the past to build more resilient communities in the future.

United States, 29th Apr 2025, – San Francisco, CA — In a world that’s increasingly disconnected from nature, GroundingTime is proud to unveil its latest innovation: the Bamboo Grounding Fitted Sheet | 5X Grounding Power for Better Sleep Groundingtime — a wellness-forward, eco-conscious sleep essential designed to bring the science of grounding into your bedroom, without compromising on style, softness, or sustainability.
Nature-Inspired, Science-Backed
Grounding, also known as earthing, is the practice of connecting your body directly to the Earth’s natural electric charge. Studies suggest that this connection may support better sleep, reduce inflammation, and promote a greater sense of calm and balance.
Our Bamboo Grounding Fitted Sheet is designed to help facilitate this connection — effortlessly. Using a proprietary blend of conductive silver fibers woven into ultra-soft bamboo fabric, the sheet connects via a grounding cord to a grounded outlet, helping your body naturally sync with the Earth’s energy while you sleep.
“We wanted to take The Science Behind Grounding Therapy | How Earth’s Energy Heals – Groundingtime and make it easy, beautiful, and accessible for everyone,” says the GroundingTime product design team. “This sheet is as much about comfort as it is about connection.”
Why Bamboo?
Unlike traditional cotton or synthetic fabrics, bamboo is naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, and antimicrobial. It also happens to be one of the most sustainable resources on the planet.
Each GroundingTime sheet is made from certified organic bamboo sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring minimal environmental impact while delivering maximum comfort.
Key Benefits of Bamboo:
Thermoregulating & breathable
Incredibly soft — even after multiple washes
Naturally moisture-wicking and odor-resistant
Hypoallergenic — ideal for sensitive skin
Built-In Multi-Point
Grounding Therapy | 5X Enhanced Grounding Technology – Groundingtime
What sets this sheet apart is its integrated grounding grid of pure silver threads. These threads are seamlessly woven into the fabric, allowing for safe and effective conductivity without sacrificing comfort.
The sheet comes with a grounding cord and adapter that easily connects to a standard grounded outlet, giving you the benefits of grounding while you sleep — with no need to change your habits or routines.
Functional Design That Fits Your Life
The Bamboo Grounding Fitted Sheet is available in multiple sizes, with 15‘’ deep-pocket corners that fit even oversized mattresses. It’s machine-washable, easy to set up, and designed to integrate smoothly with any bedroom aesthetic.
Whether you’re new to grounding or a long-time believer in the benefits, this sheet is a simple yet powerful addition to your wellness routine.
What Customers Are Saying
“I’ve been using the GroundingTime bamboo sheet for just two weeks, and I’ve noticed deeper, more restful sleep. The fabric is unbelievably soft — I honestly don’t want to get out of bed.”
— Laura M., verified buyer
“I’ve struggled with chronic pain in my lower back for years. After sleeping on the GroundingTime bamboo sheet for just a few nights, I woke up with noticeably less stiffness and tension. It’s the first thing I’ve tried that’s made a real difference — naturally.”
— Daniel R., verified buyer
Sustainability at the Core
GroundingTime believes that wellness shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. That’s why every sheet is packaged in plastic-free, recyclable materials, and a portion of each purchase goes toward reforestation and clean water initiatives.
Availability
The Bamboo Grounding Fitted Sheet is now available exclusively at www.groundingtime.com, with free U.S. shipping.
