EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> <br />This Multi-Hazed Mitigation Plan ~br the Eugene and Sphngfield metropolitan area covers <br />each of the major natural and anthropogenic hazards that pose risks to the c~tizens, buildings, <br />and infi'astructure within the metro area. The primary objectives of this mitigation plan are to <br />reduce the negative impacts of future disasters on the community, i.e., to save lives, mimmize <br />injuries, damage to buildings and infrastructure (particularly critical facihties), and reduce <br />economic loss. The intent and purpose of the plan is to educate and infon-n public officials <br />and residents, increase awareness of the risks posed by hazards, and to facilitate reduction of <br />risk by encouraging implementation of hazard mitigation projects; however, this mitigation <br />plan is a planning document, not a regulatory document; therefore, it does not regulate <br />development or land use. <br /> <br />All communities in the United States must adopt FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plans in <br />order to remain eligible for future FEMA pre- or post-disaster hazard mitigation grant <br />programs. This mitigation plan meets FEMA's plalming requirements by addressing hazards, <br />walnerability, and risk. Hazard means the f~equency and severity of disaster events. <br />Vulnerability means the value, importance, and fragility of braidings and inlYastructure. Risk <br />means the threat to people, buildings and infrastructure, taking Into account the probabilities of <br />disaster events. <br /> <br />This document is a DRAFT. Review comments, suggestions, coi'rections and additions are <br />encouraged from all interested parties.
