Clatsop County’s plan
for handling natural disasters is updated and available to view.
The Natural Hazards
Mitigation Plan identifies the types of hazards that threaten the county and
local communities, evaluates vulnerability to those hazards and outlines a
strategy to reduce or eliminate the risk to life and property.
The
multi-jurisdictional plan was developed in 2008 in coordination between Clatsop
County and the cities of Astoria, Cannon Beach, Gearhart, Seaside and Warrenton.
The state and federal governments require local jurisdictions to adopt hazard
mitigation plans to be eligible for certain disaster assistance and recovery
funding. The county launched an update of the plan earlier this year.
The updated plan has
been submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for review and
adoption. Citizens are invited to view the plan and provide their own input on
their biggest natural hazard concerns through an online survey at www.co.clatsop.or.us.
