It provides a foundation for further planning to ensure that County leadership, agencies, and citizens are aware and prepared to meet the effects of disasters and emergencies. Incident management cannot be event driven. Through increased awareness and preventive measures, the ultimate goal is to help ensure a unified approach that will lesson vulnerability to hazards over time. The HIVA is not a detailed study, but a general overview of known hazards that can affect Jefferson County. Jefferson County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment 2011 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An integrated emergency management approach involves hazard identification, risk assessment, and vulnerability analysis. This document, the Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) describes the hazard identification and assessment of both natural hazards and technological, or human caused hazards, which exist for the people of Jefferson County.

  • Pacific Lamprey 2020 Regional Implementation Plan Washington
    Pacific Lamprey 2020 Regional Implementation Plan for the Washington Coast/Puget Sound Regional Management Units Submitted to the Conservation Team August 12, 2020 Primary Authors Primary Editors M.Plumb U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service This page left intentionally blank I. Status and Distribution of Pacific lamprey in the RMUs A. General Description of the RMUs The Puget Sound/Strait of Juan de Fuca Region is bordered by the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the west, the Cascade Range to the east, Puget Sound systems to the south, and the U.S.–Canada border to the north (Figure 1). The Puget Sound/Strait of Juan de Fuca Region includes all Washington river basins flowing into the Puget Sound, Hood Canal, and Strait of Juan de Fuca. The major river basins in the Puget Sound initiate from the Cascade Range and flow west, discharging into Puget Sound, with the exception of the Fraser River system, which flows northwest into British Columbia. All of the major river basins in Hood Canal and the Strait of Juan de Fuca originate in the Olympic Mountains. This region is comprised of 20 4th field HUCs ranging in size from 435-6,604 km2 (Table 1). The Washington Coast Region is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the West, Cape Flattery to the North, Olympic Mountain Range and Willapa Hills to the East, and the Columbia River to the South (Figure 2). This region includes all Washington river basins flowing directly into the Pacific Ocean. The Washington Coast Region includes the Hoh-Quillayute, Queets-Quinault, Upper and Lower Chehalis, Grays Harbor, and Willapa Bay sub-regions, or 4th field HUCs, ranging in size from 1,471-3,393 km2 (Table 2).

Its western and northern boundaries are the Pacific Ocean and Strait of Juan de Fuca shorelines. The southern boundary cuts through Olympic National Park, the nearly million-acre wilderness interior of the Peninsula. The high mountains, rugged coastlines, deep forest, miles of unspoiled rivers, clean air and water, and mild marine climate offer a most unusual combination of environmental amenities. When the cultural, educational, and social amenities available in the cities and towns are considered, along with the range of living styles from small town to rural to backwoods, the county becomes a uniquely desirable place to live and work. The county is rich in natural resources. The Olympic Peninsula is one of the most productive timber-growing areas in the country, and 60 percent of Clallam County’s land area is in commercial timberland. The ocean waters once contained a vast fishery. Salmon have been the most significant species for commercial and sports fishermen, but twenty-four other commercially significant species are also landed. Some species of salmon have now become listed as threatened or endangered.

  • Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission 2019 Media Kit
    Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission 2019 Media Kit Hoh Rain Forest, Olympic National Park Located in Washington’s northwest corner, the Olympic Peninsula is a land like no other. It is both environmentally and culturally rich. From the jigsaw coastlines, temperate rainforest, and glacial-capped peaks of Olympic National Park to the organic farms and wineries of the Dungeness and Chimacum Valleys; from the cultural centers of native tribes dotting the Highway 101 Pacific Coast Scenic Byway to the maritime history of its port towns, there’s an adventure for every age and spirit here. Holiday Lights Blyn, WA Olympic National Park A Modern-day Eden The Olympic Peninsula is home to the 1,400 square mile Olympic National Park. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve, the park has three distinctly different ecosystems; the Pacific coastline, the Olympic Mountains and the primeval rain forests. In 1976, Olympic became an International Biosphere Reserve; and in 1981, it was designated a World Heritage Site. These diverse ecosystems are still largely pristine due to its wilderness designations. The wild and rugged coastline along the Pacific Ocean stretches over 70 miles and is the longest undeveloped coast in the contiguous United States. The extensive alpine forests are home to some of the world’s largest conifers, towering 300 feet tall and measuring 25 feet around. Among the ancient forests of old-growth trees exists the largest temperate rainforest on the earth. Found on the Pacific Coast of North America, stretching from Oregon to Alaska. The rugged Olympic Mountains, home to Mount Olympus and over 60 glaciers, are thought to be beautiful enough for the gods to dwell.
