Abstract
Natural hazard mitigation plans assist communities in reducing risk and preventing loss from natural hazards by documenting mitigation goals, recommending activities to minimize losses, and offering technical information and resources to implement activities.
Description
This manual and training provides a process for developing as well as evaluating natural hazard mitigation plans. Additionally, this document and training synthesize the standards and approaches developed by state and federal agencies and organizations to assist communities in achieving risk reduction goals.
The training manual is based on the State of Oregon’s Local Natural Hazard Mitigation Plans: An Evaluation Process and the Planning for Natural Hazards: Oregon Technical Resource Guide (a technical resource for land use planning approaches relating to natural hazards affecting Oregon communities).
