City of Sandy natural hazards mitigation plan addendum

Abstract

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 Sandy 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 Sandy’s local planning efforts began in January, 2009. RARE provided a staff person (‘RARE Participant’) to facilitate and document the city’s addendum development process.
