In 2006, the Community Service Center's Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience (Partnership) at the University of Oregon partnered with Lincoln and Clatsop Counties, Oregon Emergency Management (OEM), and City County Insurance Services to develop a collaborative Pre-Disaster Mitigation Planning Grant proposal for the two remaining coastal counties without natural hazard mitigation plans. Each county joined the Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience (Partnership) by signing (through their county commissions) a Memorandum of Understanding for this project.

In 2007, The Partnership partnered again with OEM and City County Insurance Services to develop a collaborative Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant proposal for coastal cities in Lane, Douglas, Coos and Curry Counties. The grant supports either the update of existing city level plans or the development of new plans for those coastal communities interested in participating.

The grant was awarded and supports both local and state staff to develop natural hazard mitigation plans in Clatsop and Lincoln counties and the southern coastal cities. The Partnership serves as the lead project coordinator providing plan development support, technical resources, and a proven planning process / framework for each county. RARE Participants will be utilized to develop the Lincoln County plan as well as the coastal city plans.

All coastal communities are invited to take part in the the Partnership's quarterly training series. This series includes trainings on organizing to prepare the plan, conducting community vulnerability assessments, developing goals and action items, and implementing the plan. The final plans will be posted to the web on their individual county web sites and the actions items will be stored in the state action item database.
