Multnomah County’s Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (NHMP) focuses on mitigation strategies that will improve preparedness, mitigation, and response to natural hazardous such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, severe weather events, volcanoes, and wildfire and wildfire smoke. For the first time, this plan includes the Columbia Corridor Drainage Districts (Peninsula 1, Peninsula 2, Multnomah County Drainage District, and Sandy Drainage Improvement Company) with the Cities of Fairview, Gresham, Troutdale, Wood Village, Multnomah County, and the Port of Portland.
Over the past year, Drainage District staff developed a list of strategies that reflect capital improvement priorities and District Drainage Master Plans, and incorporated priorities from Fall 2021 community surveys that emphasized levee improvements, monitoring and maintenance, outreach, and education.
Public Review Opportunity
A draft of the plan has been released for public review, and your input continues to be an important part of this process. Feedback that is provided will be used to improve the final plan and guide future updates. The deadline to provide comments is Friday, February 10, 2023. To access the draft plan and the comment form, or to learn more about the purpose and background of the plan, please visit the Multnomah County website: https://www.multco.us/em/natural-hazards-mitigation-planning.
