Abstract
Woodburn 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 Woodburn, 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 via the comprehensive plan, development code, public facilities
plan, transportation system plan, or parks master plan. The actions
described in the addendum are intended to be implemented through
existing plans and programs within the city.
