Oregon Natural Hazards Risk Assessment Upgrade

The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) have upgraded 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 guided development of the Oregon NHMP's updated risk reduction strategy. 

The 2025-30 Oregon NHMP has been approved by FEMA and is effective from September 15, 2025 through September 14, 2030. It constitutes Volume 1 of the Oregon Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP), available on OEM's CEMP web page.

Oregon Natural Hazards Risk Assessment

Chapters 3 and 9 of the 2025-30 Oregon Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) together contain the upgraded Oregon Natural Hazards Risk Assessment.

• Chapter 3: Risk Assessment
  
• Chapter 9: Appendices
  

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.
