(City of Happy Valley (Or.), 2010-03-02) Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience
In the fall of 2007, the Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience (OPDR / the
Partnership) at the University of Oregon’s Community Service Center partnered with
Oregon Emergency Management, Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE),
Clackamas County, and cities within Clackamas County to develop a Hazard Mitigation
Grant Program (HMGP) planning grant proposal. The City of Happy Valley joined the
Partnership by signing a memorandum of understanding for this project. FEMA awarded
the Partnership with a grant to support the development and update of city addenda in
Clackamas County, and Happy Valley’s local planning efforts began in April, 2009.
RARE provided a staff person (‘RARE Participant’) to facilitate and document the city’s
addendum development process.
