This approach ensured the Project Team <br />considered our community research, what community members feel is most important <br />(public outreach), and what vulnerable populations require specific attention as part of <br />our natural hazard's mitigation planning. <br />Eugene and Springfield Emergency Management developed a list of Mitigation Action <br />Items (Appendix A) using the following information: <br />• The 2014 Vulnerability Assessment emphasized strengthening the fossil fuel, <br />transportation, and electricity sectors because they are crucial to the operation of <br />all other sectors. Sector experts identified earthquakes, winter storms, floods, <br />and wildfire events as the hazards of greatest concern. Actions supporting these <br />systems were raised in priority. <br />• The Cities of Eugene and Springfield along with Sub -Plan Holders have done <br />96 Young, Stacy, Lina Balluz, and Josephine Malilay.
