Title: Improving natural hazards management on the Oregon coast:
recommendations of the coastal natural hazards policy working group 1994.
Author: Oregon Sea Grant Program
Year: 94
# Pages: 128
Abstract: Natural forces, some cataclysmic and some gradual and
relentless, have shaped the Oregon coast over millions of years. These
dynamics are still at work, constantly reshaping the coast. What is different
about the coast today, however, is our ubiquitous human presence, one
consequence of which is that the same natural forces that shaped the coast
so attractively in the past increasingly threaten human life and property.
In response to these threats and to concerns that existing efforts to
cope with them were inadequate, policy working group was convened to reconsider
the entire issue. The resulting report addresses 23 issues, organized
in four categories: hazard identification, beach and shore protection,
land use, and disaster preparedness and response. The group makes 79 recommendations
and suggests those actions and agencies, organizations, or institutions
that could best implement each recommendation.
