It is impossible to predict exactly when these hazards will occur, or the extent to which they will affect the community. However, with careful planning and collaboration among public agencies, private sector organizations, and citizens within the community, It is possible to create a resilient community that will benefit from long-term recovery planning efforts. The Federal Emergency Management Agency 44 CFR 201.6-The local mitigation plan is (FEMA) defines mitigation as the effort to the representation of the reduce loss of life and property by lessening the jurisdiction's commitment to impact of disasters through risk analysis, reduce risks from natural hazards, which results in information that provides a serving as o guide for decision makers as they commit resources foundation for mitigation activities that reduce to reducing the effects of natural risk." Said another way, natural hazard hazards.... mitigation is a method of permanently reducing or alleviating the losses of life, property, and injuries resulting from natural hazards through long and short-term strategies. Example strategies include policy changes, such as updated ordinances, projects, such as seismic retrofits to critical facilities; and education and outreach to targeted audiences, such as Spanish speaking residents or the elderly. Natural hazard mitigation is the responsibility of the "Whole Community" - individuals, private businesses and industries, state and local governments, and the federal government. Why Develop this Mitigation Plan? 44 CFR 201.6(o)tl) -A local government must have a mitigation plan In addition to establishing a comprehensive approved pursuant to this section community-level mitigation strategy, the in order to receive HMGP project Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K) and the grants... regulations contained in 44 CFR 201 require that jurisdictions maintain an approved NHMP in order to receive federal funds for mitigation projects. Local and federal approval of this plan ensures that the county and listed cities will remain eligible for pre- and post-disaster mitigation project grants. Who Participated in Developing the Plan? The Jackson Multi-jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) is the result of a collaborative effort between the county, cities, special districts, citizens, public agencies, non-profit organizations, the private sector and regional organizations. A project steering Jackson County NHMP October 2012 Page i committee guided the plan development process. The project steering committee included representatives from the following 44 CFR 201.6(c)(1)-Documentation of the planning process used to develop organizations. the plan, including how it was prepared, who was involved in the • City of Ashland Fire and Rescue process, and how the public was • City of Eagle Point Police involved. • City of Jacksonville Police • City of Phoenix Police • City of Rogue River Administration and Planning • City of Shady Cove Administration and Emergency Management • City of Talent • City of Salem Fire Department • Jackson County Code Enforcement • Jackson County Integrated Fire Plan • Jackson County Development Services • Jackson County Emergency Management • Jackson County Health and Human Services • Jackson County Parks • Jackson County Sherriff's Office • United Way of Jackson County The Jackson County Emergency Manager convened the planning process and will take the lead in implementing, maintaining and updating the plan. Jackson County is dedicated to directly involving the public in the continual reviewing and updating of the natural hazards mitigation plan. Although members of the steering committee represent the public to some extent, the public will also have the opportunity to continue to provide feedback about the Plan. ' The county will ensure continued public involvement by posting the Jackson County Multi- jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan on the county s website. The plan will also be archived and posted on the University of Oregon Libraries' Scholar's Bank Digital Archive. How Does this Mitigation Plan Reduce Risk? 44 CFR 201.6(c)(2) -A Risk Assessment that provides the factual basis for The natural hazards mitigation plan is intended activities proposed in the strategy to assist Jackson County reduce the risk from natural hazards by identifying resources, information, and strategies for risk reduction. It is also intended to guide and coordinate mitigation activities throughout the county. A risk assessment consists of three phases: hazard identification, vulnerability assessment, and risk analysis, as illustrated in the following graphic.

By identifying and understanding the relationship between natural hazards, vulnerable systems, and existing capacity, Jackson County is better equipped to identify and implement actions aimed at reducing the overall risk to natural hazards. What is the County's Overall Risk to Hazards? Jackson County reviewed and updated their risk assessment to evaluate the probability of each hazard as well as the vulnerability of the community to that hazard. In addition, the cities of Ashland, Eagle Point, Rogue River and Shady Cove steering committees reviewed the recently updated Jackson County risk assessment to compare risk and vulnerability particular to their jurisdiction. Table i.1 below summarizes hazard vulnerability and probability as determined by the steering committee. Table i.

Jackson County NHMP October 2012 Page iii What is the Plan's Mission? The mission of the Jackson County Multi-jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan is to: Reduce risk, prevent loss and protect life, property and the environment from natural hazard events through coordination and cooperation among public and private partners. What are the Plan Goals? 44 CFR 201.6(c)(3)(i) - A description of mitigation goals The plan goals describe the overall direction that to reduce P avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the participating jurisdiction's agencies, the identified hazards. organizations; and citizens can take toward mitigating risk from natural hazards (listed below in order of priority). Goal 1: Emergency Services Goal Statements: Minimize life safety issues by promoting, strengthening and coordinating emergency response plans. Goal 2: Education and Outreach Goal Statement: Further the public's awareness and understanding of natural hazards and potential risk, including economic vulnerability and mitigation efforts. Goal 3: Prevention Goal Statement: Reduce the threat of loss of life and property from natural hazards by incorporating information on known hazards and providing incentives to make hazard mitigation planning a priority in land use policies and decisions, including plan implementation. Goal 4: Property Protection Goal Statement: Lessen impact from natural disaster on individual properties, businesses and public facilities by increasing awareness at the individual level and encouraging activities that can prevent damage and loss of life from natural hazards. Goal 5: Partnership and Coordination Goal Statements: • Identify mitigation or risk reduction measures that address multiple areas (i.e., environment, transportation, telecommunications; • Coordinate public/ private sector participation in planning and implementing mitigation projects throughout the county; and • Seek funding and resource partnerships for future mitigation efforts. Goal 6: Natural Resource Protection Goal Statement: Preserve and rehabilitate natural systems to serve natural hazard mitigation functions (i.e., floodplains, wetlands, watershed and urban interface areas). Page iv October 2012 Jackson County NHMP Goal 7: Structural Projects Goal Statement: When applicable, utilize structural mitigation activities to minimize risks associated with natural hazards. How are the Action Items - Organized? 44 CFR 201.6(c)(3)(ii) -A section that identifies and analyzes a The action items are organized within an action comprehensive range of specific matrix (full descriptions are provided in Appendix mitigation actions... A, Action Item Forms and an abbreviated matrix list is located at the end of this section and within Section III), which lists all the multi-hazard and hazard-specific action items included in the mitigation plan. Data collection, research and the public participation process resulted in the development of the action items. The Action Item Matrix portrays the overall plan framework and identifies linkages between the plan goals, and actions. The matrix documents the title of each action along with, the coordinating organization, timeline, and the plan goals addressed. Action items particular to each of the participating cities are included at the end of the action item matrix. How will the plan be implemented? 44 CFR 201.6(c)(3)(iii) -An action plan describing how the actions will The plan maintenance section of this plan details be prioritized, implemented and the formal process that will ensure that the administered... Jackson County NHMP remains an active and relevant document. The plan will be 44 CFR 201.6(c)(4) -A plan maintenance implemented, maintained and updated by a designated convener. The Jackson County Emergency Manager is the designated convener and is responsible for overseeing the annual review and implementation processes. The plan maintenance process Includes a schedule for monitoring and evaluating the plan annually and producing a plan revision every five years. This section describes how the communities will integrate public participation throughout the plan maintenance process. Plan Adoption Once the plan is locally reviewed and deemed 44 CFR 201.6(c)(5)-Documentation that complete the Plan Convener submits It to the the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of State Hazard Mitigation Officer at Oregon thejurisdiction... Military Department - Office of Emergency Management (OEM). OEM reviews the plan and AA !'CR DM 6/A1 _ Olnn .oinaw (nrnrowl submits it to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA- Region X) for review. This review will address the federal criteria outlined in FEMA Interim Final Rule 44 CFR Part 201.6. Once the plan is pre-approved by FEMA, the county and cities formally adopt the plan via resolution. The Jackson County NHMP convener will be responsible for ensuring local adoption of the Jackson County NHMP and providing the support necessary to Jackson County NHMP October 2012 Page v ensure plan implementation. Once the resolution is executed at the local level and documentation is provided to FEMA, the plan is formally acknowledged by FEMA and the county (and participating cities) will re-establish eligibility for the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds, and the Flood Mitigation Assistance program funds. The accomplishment of the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan goals and actions depends upon regular Steering Committee participation and adequate support from city leadership. Thorough familiarity with this Plan will result in the efficient and effective implementation of appropriate mitigation activities and a reduction in the risk and the potential for loss from future natural hazard events. Jackson County and the cities (Ashland, Eagle Point, Rogue River and Shady Cove) will review the plan annually in conjunction with the regular review of the County Emergency Operations Plan. The steering committee met on three occasions December 9, 2011, April 25th and May 301h to review the plan update process. The City of Ashland met on three occasions May 291h, June 12th and June 25th. The City of Eagle Point steering committee met on two occasions May 291h and July 20eh.
