The update to the Multnomah County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) was adopted by resolution of the Multnomah County Board on October 13 2024. The final version of the plan is posted below, and incorporates comment from the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The plan received final federal review approval on August 24, 2023, and may be now be adopted by all of the participating jurisdictions and districts. A list of adoption dates by each multi-jurisdictional partner will be added to this page soon. This plan update was built through stakeholder input, public comment, and the most up-to-date studies and research about natural hazard risk in Multnomah County.
The plan provides a comprehensive view of the risks to Multnomah County from earthquake, flood, landslide, severe weather, volcano, and wildfire and wildfire smoke – and strategies for lessening the impact of those future disasters. The plan update has been in process since 2021 and includes the Cities of Fairview, Gresham, Troutdale and Wood Village; Multnomah County; the Columbia Corridor Drainage Districts (Peninsula 1, Peninsula 2, Multnomah County Drainage District, and Sandy Drainage Improvement Company plus two future consolidated districts); and the Port of Portland. The City of Portland has their own Mitigation Action Plan(link is external), which was recently updated.
