Multi-Hazard # 1 Proposed Action Item: Alignment with Plan Goals: Goals 6, 7 Continue to support/develop public and private sector partnerships to foster hazard mitigation activities. Rationale for Proposed Action Item: Developing partnerships among public agencies and the private sector can help in collaborating and sharing the responsibility of implementing natural hazard mitigation activities. These partnerships can help Eugene/Springfield reduce its risk from the natural hazards addressed in the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. The cities of Eugene and Springfield have developed several partnerships between the public and private sector to coordinate their emergency management activities. Examples include coordinating with public and private organizations to prepare for the Olympic Track and Field Trials at the University of Oregon in 2008 and being involved in the Lane Preparedness Coalition to address pandemic flu issues. Continuing to support and develop these public and private sector partnerships help enable Eugene and Springfield to implement their mitigation activities and reduce the level of risk these cities face from natural hazards. Ideas for Implementation: Continue involvement with the Lane Preparedness Coalition which is comprised of public agencies and private sector businesses, to support/develop public and private sector partnerships.
