In 2005, the Community Service Center's Oregon Natural Hazards Workgroup (ONHW) at the University of Oregon partnered with the Northeast Oregon counties and Oregon Emergency Management (OEM) to develop a collaborative Pre-Disaster Mitigation Planning Grant proposal for the Northeast Oregon region. The region consists of Union, Wallowa, Baker, Grant counties. Each county joined the Partners for Disaster Resistance & Resilience (Partnership) by signing (through their county commissions) a Memorandum of Understanding for this project.

The grant was awarded and supports both local and state staff to develop natural hazard mitigation plans. ONHW will serve as the lead project coordinator and provide plan development support, technical resources, and a proven planning process / framework for each county. Each of the region’s counties will take part in ONHW's quarterly training series. This series included 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 individual county web site when completed and the actions items can be found in the state action item database.
