This is a chance to provide feedback about the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (NHMP). The NHMP is an opportunity for the City of Milwaukie to review and consider natural hazards that may affect its residents and businesses. The plan includes a ranking of potential hazards, description of how they may affect Milwaukie, and a list of action items to be taken to improve the city's ability to prepare for those hazards.
While not every proposed change will be included in the final plan, the city is collecting community feedback, and will consider and respond to comments and questions. After reviewing the NHMP, please consider completing the first three engagement tools below (Quick Poll, Mapping Exercise and Action Items Discussion). Additional questions can also be added to the Questions tool.
The NHMP is only one aspect of the city's emergency management strategy, and updating it every five years allows the city to remain eligible for certain federal emergency management grants. Please note, the NHMP does not contain any information about how the city will respond to hazards that are not naturally occurring.
Feedback and questions can also be shared by contacting the staff person listed under "Who's Listening" below or to the right (depending on the device being used).
The city is excited to hear from you!

The chart below includes a list of action items that the city proposes to work on over the next five years. The full text of these items can be found on page MA-48 of the NHMP. It is important to remember that not all action items are fully funded so grants and other outside revenue sources will be important in completing these action items.
Please join the discussion if there are items not on this list that you would like to see included. You can also join the discussion if there are any items that you think should be removed from the list or altered.
Thanks for participating!
