Abstract:
The general purposes of the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (NHMP) are to:
Define the scope of and experience with natural hazards affecting the community;
Assess the ongoing hazard mitigation activities in the community, including approaches that the City
is currently utilizing;
Evaluate additional mitigation measures that should be undertaken;
Define a strategy for implementation of mitigation projects and activities by all stakeholders
(including cities, counties, citizens, businesses, others);
Serve as a qualifying document for various hazard mitigation programs which are coordinated
through the Oregon State Police, Office of Emergency Management (OEM), and;
Act as a resource document, subject to change, as the community refines hazard mitigation goals,
strategy, and implementation. [From the Plan]
