Abstract
Silverton developed this addendum to the Marion County multijurisdictional
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 the city of Silverton, Oregon, which
include drought, flood, earthquake, landslide, volcano, wildfire, wind
storm, and severe winter storm. 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 through the city’s development code, wastewater system facility
plan, emergency operations plan, etc. The actions described in the
addendum are intended to be implemented through existing plans and
programs within the city.
