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

prehensive plan and im-
plementation (e.g. zoning

latory steps are included.
(Chapters 3 and 4)

Oregon communities, and

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.
