State of Oregon Local Natural Hazard Mitigation Plans: An Evaluation Process

Abstract

Natural hazard mitigation plans assist communities in reducing risk and preventing loss from natural hazards by documenting mitigation goals, recommending activities to minimize losses, and offering technical information and resources to implement activities. This document describes an evaluation process which provides guidance on evaluating hazard mitigation plans and a synthesis of standards and approaches developed by state and federal agencies and organizations to assist communities in achieving risk reduction.
