His 79-adventure fi lled years of loving life began on February 23, 1940 in Mur- phy, North Carolina, with his Father Jerry, Mother Annice and 12 Siblings. Lowell’s short career as an elementary school boy wasn’t an indication of the profound impact his years on this earth would have on so many strang- ers yet to meet. His home base of Cottage Grove, Oregon for the most recent 65 years is scattered with monuments of his ability to perform a vast ar- ray of manly wooden creations and construction projects. His reverence for wildlife and wilderness was ever pres- New landslide prep guide available from DLCD, DOGAMI The Oregon Depart- ment of Land Conserva- tion and Development (DLCD) and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) have released Preparing for Landslide Hazards: A Land Use Guide for Oregon Com- munities and its accom- panying quick reference handout. In response to com- munity conversations throughout Oregon, DLCD and DOGAMI jointly pursued and ob- tained grant funding from the Federal Emergen- cy Management Agency (FEMA). The Land Use Guide responds to fre- quently asked community questions related to in- creasing local resilience to landslide hazards through land use options and strategies. Many of these questions come from communities with new DOGAMI lidar-based landslide maps. Lidar technology has revolutionized mapping. During the last decade, DOGAMI has used lidar to produce detailed land- slide inventories, shallow landslide susceptibility maps, and deep landslide susceptibility maps for many communities in Oregon. With this new information, communi- ties should revise local codes, plans, and policies to most effectively use the lidar-based landslide in- ventory and maps. Preparing for a local or catastrophic natural hazard event requires a comprehensive commu- nity effort. The goal of the Land Use Guide is to address the information gaps faced by communi- ties with new lidar-based landslide maps. Questions The guide includes an- swers to questions such as: What is the best method to implement this new in- formation? What changes should be made to codes, plans and policies? What resources are available to homeowners and others to improve safety in the community? The Land Use Guide provides examples of comprehensive plan lan- guage and development code provisions that can help communities reduce risk to landslide hazards. These examples provide general guidance allow- ing communities to tailor land use policies and reg- ulations to their individu- al circumstances. Among some of the top- ics the Land Use Guide includes: • Explanations of the general types of landslide hazards. (Chapter 2) • Results of a limited review of landslide regula- tions. (Chapters 4, 5, and 8) • Key issues in imple- menting landslide hazard risk reduction. (Chapters 4 and 5) • Discussions of com- prehensive plan and im- plementation (e.g. zoning codes, building codes, and so forth) issues. Ap- proaches to reducing landslide risk through non-regulatory and regu- latory steps are included. (Chapters 3 and 4) • Elements of a strong comprehensive plan re- lated to landslide hazards, examples of comprehen- sive plan provisions from Oregon communities, and a model framework for comprehensive plan revi- sions. (Chapters 3 and 5) • Elements of a strong landslide hazard ordi- nance, example code pro- visions from Oregon com- munities, and a model framework for a landslide hazard ordinance. (Chap- ters 4 and 5) • Key ways to reduce a community’s risk from landslide hazards. (Chap- ter 4) • Other resources to aid communities and indi- viduals in reducing (mit- igating) landslide hazard risks. (Chapter 5) The Land Use Guide and accompanying quick reference handout are lo- cated on both DLCD’s and DOGAMI’s websites.
