Project Manager: Michael Murphy, Emergency Services Coordinator 94325 Moore Street (Courthouse Annex) P.O. Box 746 Gold Beach, OR 97444 FUNDING The strongest winter windstorm in several years came ashore in southwest Oregon on February 7, 2002, resulting in extensive property, vegetation, and electric utility damage as well as widespread loss of electrical service and associated economic losses. The storm’s destructive forces extended through the Coast Range and into the, mid Willamette Valley. On March 12, 2002, President Bush declared a five-county area of Oregon a federal disaster area. This disaster was designated FEMA-1405-DR-OR under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, PL 93-288. Under the declaration, federal funds are provided for the state and affected local governments in the counties of Coos, Curry, Douglas, Lane and Linn to pay 75 percent of the eligible cost for debris removal, emergency services, and restoring damaged public facilities. The declaration also makes cost-shared funding, through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), available to the state for approved projects that will reduce future disaster losses and resulting costs. Funding for this project was awarded to Curry County through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, DR-1405, HMGP#11-99011; Project: Curry County Natural Hazards Mitigation Planning. 1.1. 8 *Executive Summary: Hazard Mitigation Survey Team Report for the Severe Windstorm in Western Oregon, February 7, 2002. Prepared by Oregon Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. ORGANIZATION The Curry County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan is the collaborative effort of the County, all incorporated cities and communities within the county, rural fire districts, and special districts, to address multi-hazard issues including flood, landslide, severe winter storm, windstorm, wildfire, earthquake, and tsunami. Each participating city and the county have identified specific hazards that impact the community’s residents and infrastructure keeping in mind that there is a considerable transient population in tourism.

  • Earthquake, Flood, Landslide, Tsunami, Wildfire, and Wind Storm
    Volume III: City Addenda City of Brookings Overview The city of Brookings developed this addendum to the Curry County multi-jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan in an effort to increase the community’s resilience to natural hazards. The addendum focuses on the natural hazards that could affect Brookings, Oregon, which include: coastal erosion, drought, earthquake, flood, landslide, tsunami, wildfire, and wind storm. It is impossible to predict exactly when disasters may occur, or the extent to which they will affect the city. However, with careful planning and collaboration among public agencies, private sector organizations, and citizens within the community, it is possible to minimize the losses that can result from natural hazards. The addendum provides a set of actions that aim to reduce the risks posed by natural hazards through education and outreach programs, the development of partnerships, and the implementation of preventative activities such as land use or watershed management programs. The actions described in the addendum are intended to be implemented through existing plans and programs within the city. The addendum is comprised of the following sections: 1) Addendum Development Process 2) Community Profile; 3) Risk Assessment; 4) Mission, Goals, & Action Items; and 5) Plan Implementation & Maintenance. Addendum Development Process 2005 Planning Process The Curry County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (NHMP) was adopted in August, 2005. The city of Brookings participated in the county’s planning process as a ‘stakeholder,’ and additionally developed mitigation actions within the county’s plan at that time. Although the city of Brookings did not develop a full addendum to the Curry County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan, the city’s risks and vulnerabilities were partly documented within the county’s plan.
