Abstract
The city of Warrenton developed this addendum to the Clatsop 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 Warrenton, Oregon, which include coastal erosion,
drought, earthquake, flood, landslide, tsunami, volcano, wildfire, wind storm, and
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 such as land use or
watershed management programs. The actions described in the addendum are
intended to be implemented through existing plans and programs within the city.
The addendum is comprised of the following sections: 1) How was the Addendum
Developed? 2) Community Profile; 3) Risk Assessment; 4) Mission, Goals, and Action
Items; and 5) Plan Implementation and Maintenance.
