City of Estacada natural hazards mitigation plan addendum
74 pp. Maps, tables, figures, appendices. "Prepared for City of Estacada ... In cooperation with Clackamas County Emergency Management."The City of Estacada developed this addendum to the Clackamas County Natural
Hazards Mitigation Plan in an effort to increase the community鈥檚 resilience to natural
hazards. The addendum focuses on the natural hazards that could affect Estacada,
Oregon, which include flood, landslide, wildfire, severe storms, earthquake and
volcano. It is impossible to predict exactly when disasters may occur, or the extent to
which they will affect the city. However, with careful planning and collaboration
among public agencies, private sector organizations, and citizens within the community,
it is possible to minimize the losses that can result from natural hazards.
The addendum provides a set of actions that aim to reduce the risks posed by natural
hazards through education and outreach programs, the development of partnerships, and
the implementation of preventative activities such as land use or watershed management
programs. The actions described in the addendum are intended to be implemented
through existing plans and programs within the city. The addendum is comprised of the
following sections: 1) Planning Process; 2) Community Profile; 3) Risk Assessment;
and 4) Action Items

goals and recommendations can lay groundwork for local mitigation
plans and partnerships. [From the PlanFunding for this project was made possible through a Federal Emergency
Management Agency Emergency Management Performance Grant
