WHAT’S IN THIS REPORT?

Landslides are one of the most widespread and damaging natural hazards in Oregon. To continue reducing damage and losses from landslides, areas of landslide hazard must first be accurately located. We mapped 1,507 landslide deposits within three Grant County study regions: 398 deep-seated landslides, 718 debris flows, 259 rock falls, and the rest shallow landslides or unclassified. Risk reduction discussions identified actions that can be taken in the areas of public awareness, planning and zoning, and emergency response. State, local government, and public participants in these discussions identified preferred pathways for risk reduction strategies most appropriate for Grant County.
