Lake County, the Town of Lakeview, and the City of Paisley are collaborating with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) to update the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP). Having an approved NHMP allows the County and the cities to obtain funds from FEMA to prepare for and recover from natural disasters. DLCD is providing the funding from a FEMA grant for this NHMP update.

Contact Daniel Tague, Lake County Emergency Manager, at dtague@co.lake.co.or.us or 541-947-6027 x 120 for more information.
