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)

and accompanying quick
reference handout are lo-
cated on both DLCD’s and
