The City of Wilsonville is in the process of updating its Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP), which provides a set of goals, action items, and resources designed to reduce risk from future natural disaster events.
This work is being performed in cooperation with the University of Oregon’s Institute for Policy Research and Engagement - Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience and the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) utilizing funds obtained from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
With re-adoption of the plan, the City of Wilsonville will maintain its eligibility to apply for federal funding toward natural hazard mitigation projects. The local planning process is informed by a wide range of representatives from city, special districts, and county government, emergency management personnel, as well as outreach to the public.
Engaging in mitigation activities provides jurisdictions with a number of benefits, including reduced loss of life, property, essential services, critical facilities, and economic hardship; reduced short-term and long-term recovery and reconstruction costs; increased cooperation and communication within the community through the planning process; and increased potential for state and federal funding for recovery and reconstruction projects.
An electronic version of the updated draft Wilsonville NHMP addendum is available for formal public comment until April 16, 2024. To view the draft plan, please visit this link or see PDF attached.
