City of Eugene Climate Vulnerability Pilot Review Process
(Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience, 2013-08) Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience, Community Service Center
This section provides a summary of the Hazards Vulnerability Assessment pilot process to date and a review of the lessons learned for the process. The summary presents our approach to Hazards Vulnerability with respect to the identified phases the process followed. The process is composed of four phases, of which this document focuses on Phases I through III. Phase I takes into consideration steering committee identification and literature review. Phase II consists of OPDR’s work on the literature review, methodology identification, tool development, and hazards and scenario selection. Phase III considers the pilot assessment of the Drinking Water system. Finally, a lessons learned section presents process observations with specific focus on several key categories including: what worked, what did not work, what we kept, and what we changed.

The City of Madras partnered with the University of Oregon Community Service Center in order to integrate the Madras Addendum of the Jefferson County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) into the City of Madras Comprehensive Plan. This project included creating a new natural hazards chapter for the comprehensive plan, which addresses Statewide Planning Goal 7, Natural Hazards. The new chapter will be one regulatory tool that can help guide future land use decisions in regards to planning and better preparation for natural hazards in Madras.

Community Wildfire Protection Plan Analysis
(University of Oregon, 2013-01) University of Oregon. Dept. of Planning, Public Policy and Management. Community Planning Workshop
Amidst increased severity of wildfires throughout the American West, the need for improved preparedness and more robust mitigation strategies for communities in the Wildland Urban Interface have become imperative. The Institute for the Sustainable Environment partnered with Community Service Center to better understand the relationship between wildfire mitigation planning process and outcomes of Community Wildfire Protection Plans in communities throughout the American West. The Healthy Forest Restoration Act of 2003 established a mandate for communities to prepare for wildfire events, the planning of which can be interpreted through Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs).The Community Service Center at the University of Oregon qualitatively analyzed a set of these plans from geographies affected by fire since 2004. In conjunction with further research regarding the longer-term implications of fire on the safety and well-being of at-risk communities, this analysis seeks to provide an objective measurement of CWPPs, not only for more comprehensive understanding of the documents themselves, but to provide a tool that may be complemented by further case study research.

Oregon Risk Assessment: A New Model
(University of Oregon, 2013-08) University of Oregon. Dept. of Planning, Public Policy and Management. Community Planning Workshop
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).

Coos County Emergency Management Strategic Plan
(Community Service Center, University of Oregon, 2013-11) Meltzer, Nick; Bruce, Josh; Hammons, Hagen; Allison, Sarah; Card, Jeramy
A Community Planning Workshop (CPW) team of four graduate students worked under the direction of a faculty manager to facilitate this planning process. The student team conducted research, facilitated meetings with local steering committees and prepared the final plans and project reports. This project was completed in collaboration with the Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience (OPDR). This strategic planning process evaluated Coos County EM’s core mission areas - Planning, Organization, Equipment, Training, and Exercises (i.e. the POETE framework) - against available and forecasted resources. The resulting strategy outlines how the county will sustain EM capabilities through an action plan informed by the processes, stakeholders and influences that drive local Emergency Management.

City of Woodburn addendum to the Marion County natural hazards mitigation plan
(City of Woodburn (Or.), 2010-04-08) Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience; Woodburn (Or.)
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.
