    City of Damascus natural hazards mitigation plan addendum
    (City of Damascus (Or.), 2009-11) Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience; Clackamas County Emergency Management
    The City of Damascus developed this addendum to the Clackamas County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan in an effort to increase the community’s resilience to natural hazards. The addendum focuses on the natural hazards that could affect Damascus, Oregon, which include flood, landslide, wildfire, severe storms, earthquake and volcano. It is impossible to predict exactly when disasters may occur, or the extent to which they will affect the city. 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. The addendum provides a set of actions that aim to reduce the risks posed by natural hazards through education and outreach programs, the development of partnerships, and the implementation of preventative activities such as land use or watershed management programs. The actions described in the addendum are intended to be implemented through existing plans and programs within the city. The addendum is comprised of the following sections: 1) Planning Process; 2) Community Profile; 3) Risk Assessment; and 4) Action Items.

    The City of Damascus, through a Goal 5 Planning grant from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, retained a consultant team led by Winterbrook Planning to conduct an inventory of natural resources within the city limits. The inventory addresses the following natural resources: wetlands, riparian corridors, wildlife habitats, groundwater resources, and Oregon scenic waterways. This inventory addresses Statewide Planning Goal 5, which requires local governments in Oregon to protect natural resources and conserve scenic and historic areas and open spaces. The inventory is part of the City’s efforts to address long-term growth management goals and to complete a Comprehensive Plan for the new City, which was incorporated in November, 2004.
