2A | WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2019 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record Landslide preparation guide now available from DOGAMI, DLCD 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 re- sponds to frequently asked community questions re- lated to increasing local resilience to landslide haz- ards through land use op- tions and strategies. Many of these questions come from communities with new DOGAMI li- dar-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 Or- egon. With this new informa- tion, communities should revise local codes, plans, and policies to most effec- tively use the lidar-based landslide inventory and maps. Preparing for a local or catastrophic natural haz- ard event requires a com- prehensive community effort. The goal of the Land Use Guide is to address the information gaps faced by communities with new li- dar-based landslide maps. The guide includes an- swers to questions such as: “What is the best method to implement this new information?”; “What changes should be made to codes, plans and pol- icies?”; “What resources are available to homeown- ers and others to improve safety in the community?” The Land Use Guide provides examples of com- prehensive plan language 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 individual circumstances. The Land Use Guide provides: • Explanations of the general types of landslide hazards. (Chapter 2) • Explanation of lidar. (Chapter 2) • Information about engineering geology re- ports and geotechnical engineering reports, the professionals who author them, and how to use them. (Chapter 2) • Results of a limited review of landslide regu- lations. (Chapters 4, 5, and 8) • Key issues in imple- menting landslide hazard risk reduction. (Chapters 4 and 5) • Discussions of com- 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 individ- uals in reducing (mitigat- ing) 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. This project was funded by the FEMA Fiscal Year 2016 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Grant No. EMS-2016-CA-00017. prehensive plan and im- plementation (e.g. zoning codes, building codes) is- sues. Approaches to reduc- ing 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.

SLSD seeks community input on new SSA funding The South Lane School District (SLSD) is taking steps to engage stakehold- ers in the process of invest- ing funds allocated through Oregon’s Student Success Act (SSA). Passed by the legislature, the SSA provides $1 billion per year beyond the regular Early Learning and K-12 State School Fund to sup- port early learning, local school districts and a num- ber of statewide education- al initiatives starting in the 2019-20 school year. The additional funding provided by the SSA-Stu- dent Investment Account is expected to generate an additional $2.3 million per year beyond regular state funding for the school dis- trict. Equity is the driving vi- sion behind this legislation. The primary goal of the SSA is to improve outcomes for historically underserved or underachieving stu- dents. The district will be providing input opportu- nities for all stakeholders through surveys and dis- cussion groups. For any parents, students, school board and commu- nity members that want to be more involved, SLSD is soliciting participants on a district-level team that will review data and recom- mendations and help facil- itate stakeholder meetings and surveys. SLSD staff that wish to be more involved will have an opportunity to be on small- er teams that will identify and analyze critical data, especially disparities in outcomes. To participate on either of these teams, contact Jer- emy Smith (Jeremy.smith@ slane.k12.or.us). The Oregon Department of Education is still work- ing on the exact guidelines for the allocation of these funds and SLSD will be following those as they be- come known. The main goal at SLSD is that “Children Come First” and this process provides a genuine opportunity to cre- ate a more equitable learn- ing environment for all stu- dents.
