Abstract:
The City of Madras partnered with the University of Oregon Community Service
Center in order to integrate the Madras Addendum of the Jefferson County Natural
Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) into the City of Madras Comprehensive Plan. This
project included creating a new natural hazards chapter for the comprehensive
plan, which addresses Statewide Planning Goal 7, Natural Hazards. The new
chapter will be one regulatory tool that can help guide future land use decisions in
regards to planning and better preparation for natural hazards in Madras.
