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. This project was funded through a 2012 FEMA Pre-disaster Mitigation Grant (PDM 12). The City of Madras provided in-kind matches of staff time and miscellaneous supplies. en_US University of Oregon Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-US land use planning Madras Addendum of the Jefferson County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) City of Madras Comprehensive Plan Natural Hazards Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 7 2012 FEMA Pre-disaster Mitigation Grant Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) Madras plan integration project Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan City of Madras Plan Integration: Supporting Documents Report Technical Report

Community Planning Workshop 2015-02-19T23:59:07Z 2015-02-19T23:59:07Z 2013-01 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18818 87 pages 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.

Dept. of Planning, Public Policy and Management. Community Planning Workshop 2015-02-19T23:51:55Z 2015-02-19T23:51:55Z 2013-08 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18817 71 pages 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). Oregon’s 2010 Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Planning Grant (FEMA DR-1733.0010-P) provided valuable funding for this project. The Department of Land Conservation and Development provided additional support through the provision of in-kind matching funds. en_US University of Oregon Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-US community development land use planning State Natural Hazard Mitigation Plans (SNHMP) Stafford Act Department of Geography, InfoGraphics’s Lab and Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience (OPDR) Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) Oregon Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (OR NHMP) OPDR Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience OREGON RISK ASSESSMENT: A NEW MODEL Technical Report

Ford, Beth (University of Oregon School of Law, February 17, 2015)[more][less]Ford, Beth 2015-02-17T17:52:22Z 2015-02-17T17:52:22Z 2015-02-17 93 OR. L. REV. 539 0196-2043 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18816 32 pages. This Comment will explore the problem of copyrighting various aspects of state statutes, explain the precedent of this copyrighting conundrum, and analyze its detrimental effects. Part I summarizes relevant case law and statutory history that provide the authority (or lack thereof) for copyrighting the law; Part II explains the codification process; Parts III and IV describe how impediments to access have manifested across the country; Part V analyzes how limiting public access to the law can be problematic and why citizens should not tolerate it; and Part VI offers a workable solution providing access to the law so that more may understand it. en_US University of Oregon School of Law All Rights Reserved.

This Comment explores the extent to which federal hate crime legislation such as the Hate Crimes Prevention Act (HCPA) protects people from bias-motivated violence on account of their religion. In doing so, it examines racial and religious protection in the context of Thirteenth Amendment jurisprudence and federal hate crime legislation. This Comment seeks to explain and clarify the relationship between the Thirteenth Amendment, religion, and federal hate crime statutes like the HCPA. en_US University of Oregon School of Law All Rights Reserved.
