    Coos County Emergency Management Strategic Plan
    (Community Service Center, University of Oregon, 2013-11) Meltzer, Nick; Bruce, Josh; Hammons, Hagen; Allison, Sarah; Card, Jeramy
    A Community Planning Workshop (CPW) team of four graduate students worked under the direction of a faculty manager to facilitate this planning process. The student team conducted research, facilitated meetings with local steering committees and prepared the final plans and project reports. This project was completed in collaboration with the Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience (OPDR). This strategic planning process evaluated Coos County EM’s core mission areas - Planning, Organization, Equipment, Training, and Exercises (i.e. the POETE framework) - against available and forecasted resources. The resulting strategy outlines how the county will sustain EM capabilities through an action plan informed by the processes, stakeholders and influences that drive local Emergency Management.

    Coos County multi-jurisdictional natural hazards mitigation plan : report for: Coos County and the cities of Bandon, Coos Bay, Coquille, Lakeside, Myrtle Point, North Bend, and Powers
    (Coos County (Or.), 2010-07) Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience; LeDuc, Andre; Dillon, Krista; Bruce, Josh; Findley, Megan; Crawford, Adam; Passchier, Gregoor
    Coos County developed this multi-jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan in an effort to reduce future loss of life and damage to property resulting from natural hazards. This plan was developed with and for the following jurisdictions: Coos County and the cities of Bandon, Coos Bay, Coquille, Lakeside, Myrtle Point, North Bend, and Powers. These are the same jurisdictions that were represented in the 2005 Coos County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. It is impossible to predict exactly when natural hazards will occur, or the extent to which they will affect the community. However, with careful planning and collaboration among public agencies, private sector organizations, and citizens within the community, it is possible to minimize the losses that can result from natural hazards. Natural hazard mitigation is defined as a method of permanently reducing or alleviating the losses of life, property, and injuries resulting from natural hazards through long and short-term strategies. Example strategies include policy changes, such as updated ordinances, projects, such as seismic retrofits to critical facilities; and education and outreach to targeted audiences, such as Spanish speaking residents or the elderly. Natural hazard mitigation is the responsibility of individuals, private businesses and industries, state and local governments, and the federal government.
