Abstract
Oregon’s Interagency Hazard Mitigation Team (IHMT) Risk Assessment Sub-Committee (RAS-C), in partnership with faculty from the University of Oregon’s Department of Geography, InfoGraphics’s Lab and Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience (OPDR) have collaborated to develop a new risk assessment model concept. When developed and implemented, the model will provide a standardized way to assess vulnerability to natural hazards in Oregon thereby allowing the state to better identify where to strategically target mitigation resources. This initiative has been facilitated by the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) as part of the current update to the Oregon Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (OR NHMP).
