Does the sentence state a fact or an opinion?

Oregon is poorly prepared for a big earthquake, which geologists think will strike within
150 years.

I would say opinion.

It isn’t a fact because they aren’t 100% sure in the sentence “geologists THINK will strike within 150 years.” Also they don’t give a statement to why Oregon is poorly prepared, they just say that it is.
