This Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan was developed through a regional partnership funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation Competitive Grant Program. The Mid-Columbia Region grant was awarded in the fall of 2005 to support the development of natural hazard mitigation plans for communities in the region. The County utilized a planning process, plan framework, and plan development support provided by the Oregon Natural Hazards Workgroup (ONHW) at the University of Oregon's Community Service Center.
