Natural hazards program

Maps, data and research    Natural hazards program

The Natural Hazards Program was a service of Metro's Data Resource Center from 1995 to 1999.

The natural hazards program provided natural hazard information to better prepare the region and its residents in order to reduce injuries and property loss during an earthquake or other natural disaster. The program was funded by a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and represents a partnership among many agencies and individuals, including:

State of Oregon

Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI)
Oregon State Police, Office of Emergency Management (OEM)

Regional Organizations

Metro Natural Hazards Technical Advisory Committee (HAZTAC)
Regional Emergency Management Group (REMG)
