Oregon Natural Hazards Risk Assessment Upgrade

The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) are upgrading the Oregon Natural Hazards Risk Assessment. This risk assessment is the factual foundation for the 2025 update to the Oregon Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) and will guide development of the Oregon NHMP's updated risk reduction strategy.

DRAFT Oregon Natural Hazards Risk Assessment

Chapters 3 and 9 of the DRAFT Oregon Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) together contain the upgraded Oregon Natural Hazards Risk Assessment. OEM and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are reviewing the risk assessment as part of the process to update the Oregon NHMP. 


Webinar

DLCD held a webinar on March 14, 2025 during which staff reviewed the Draft Oregon Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan structure and contents, described what we were hoping to hear from you to improve the Plan, and answered your questions.

Important Notice

Wildfire Hazard Regulations: The Oregon NHMP risk assessment and maps are not regulatory. The Oregon Department of Forestry and Oregon State University developed a statewide wildfire hazard map as required by the Oregon Legislature for use in building codes, defensible space requirements, and grant programs.
