Response: Goal 7 addresses natural hazards and requires that local governments inventory risks for floods, landslides, earthquakes and related hazards, and wildfires among others and implement appropriate safeguards when planning for development in areas of natural hazards. TIle Alulti- hazard Mitigation Plan for the Eugene/Springfield Aletropolitan Area (Metro Hazard Plan) was adopted by Eugene on November 8, 2004; this plan is non-regulatory but provides an inventory of known hazards.
