Drought Declaration Procedures and Guidance
The guidance below is intended to show the actions that might be taken by counties to submit a Drought Emergency Declaration to the State of Oregon.  A state drought declaration enables counties to benefit from emergency streamlined water rights programs, ground water usage programs and other programs that can help citizens.  An information sheet is also provided to describe state and federal assistance available for drought.

Mitigation Planning

Mitigation & Recovery Services Section staff provide technical assistance to local jurisdictions in developing or updating mitigation plans. One Guide used when advising local jurisdictions is the Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide shown below. The second document below, the Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool, is a Microsoft Word version of Appendix A of the Guide. The “regulation checklist” within the Tool is the official evaluation used by FEMA when reviewing local mitigation plans. Typically local governments utilize this checklist while developing or updating their mitigation plan, and then do a full self-evaluation using the Tool prior to submitting a local mitigation plan through OEM to FEMA for pre-adoption review.

Seismic Grants
Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program
The Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program (SRGP) provides funds to strengthen public schools and emergency services buildings so they will be less damaged during an earthquake. Reducing property damage, injuries, and casualties caused by earthquakes is the goal of the SRGP.
