ISSUE STATEMENT
The cities of Eugene/Springfield have been involved in a planning effort to develop a Multi-Hazard
Mitigation Plan in an effort to maintain eligibility for pre- and post-disaster mitigation funding available
from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
BACKGROUND
The President signed the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390) on October 30, 2000.
The law encourages and rewards local governments that are involved in mitigation planning. Building
on work that was begun following the floods of 1996, the City of Eugene applied for and received a
grant in FY02 to begin work on a mitigation plan and invited the City of Springfield to participate. The
plan has been reviewed by FEMA and approved on the condition of adoption at the local level. The
final FEMA approved plan is available at http://www, ci. eugene, or. us/HRRS/HazMitPlan, htm and a copy
is in the Council Library. The Springfield City Council will have this item on its November 15, 2004,
agenda.
