Central Point Addendum - Jackson County Multi-Jurisdictional NHMP

 

Hazard mitigation planning is essential to identifying and implementing actions to to reduce damages from future disasters. However, the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan is not an operational response plan and it does not describe how the City will respond to natural disasters.  The NHMP is a framework that guides decision-making and policy development around the reduction or elimination of risk to life and property resulting from air quality, drought, earthquake, emerging infectious diseases, flood, heat, landslide, wildfire, windstorm, and winter storm events.

The current NHMP was adopted by City Council on February 22, 2024 and approved by FEMA on April 10, 2024.  With the adoption of the 2024 NHMP, Central Point maintains its eligibility to apply for Federal funding toward natural hazard mitigation projects. 

The update to the NHMP was performed in cooperation with Jackson County as part of a County-wide multi-jurisdictional plan and with the University of Oregon’s Institute for Policy Research and Engagement - Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience and the Oregon Department of Emergency Management, utilizing funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
