Abstract

The lower Siletz River basin sustained major damage as a result of flooding in 1996, 1998, and 1999. These events, combined with past floods in the Lower Siletz watershed, underscored the need for the Lower Siletz River Flood Mitigation Action Plan. As a result of 1999 flood damage, Lincoln County applied for and received a Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant. The grant, obtained through the Oregon State Police Office of Emergency Management, supplied money principally for elevating or relocating damaged structures. The grant also supplied a portion of funds for developing a flood mitigation plan, and administrative costs.
