The “Big One”: Attracting Funding to Natural Hazard Mitigation Along the Oregon Coast

Abstract

The overarching goal of the project is to answer the question: How does Conservation Capital engage with coastal Oregon to attract funding in natural hazard mitigation for a CSZ event? To address the research question, the final project provides our client with: (1) In-depth analysis of three coastal communities; (2) Scorecard of evaluative criteria for potential coastal community partnerships; (3) Access to key stakeholder perspectives through eleven qualitative interviews; and, (4) Contact list of key coastal stakeholders who have agreed to be contacted by the client.
