Abstract

The purpose of this project was to develop, with the assistance of the Department of Land Conservation and Development and other Oregon state agencies, technical resource guides (TRGs) for Oregon cities and counties to plan for, and limit the effects of, threats posed by natural hazards. The project intended to provide resource guides and plan evaluation tools, written for local staff and officials to assist jurisdictions across the state in developing policies, plans, and non-regulatory mitigation strategies to prevent high-risk development and to understand the legal ramifications of regulating development in potential hazard areas.
