The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) has completed the six-year project to digitally compile geologic data for the entire state. This effort brings together the best available geologic mapping from state and federal agency sources, student thesis work, and consultants. The project will create a new statewide digitally-compiled geologic map coverage that will become a component of the Geoscience Theme within the Oregon Framework Themes. The Oregon Framework Themes effort is coordinated by the Oregon Geospatial Enterprise Office, Oregon Department of Administrative Services
One of the primary chronic and most devastating geologic hazards in Oregon is landslides. Average annual repair costs for landslides in Oregon exceed $10 million and severe winter storm losses can exceed $100 million (Wang and others, 2002). As population growth continues to expand and development into increased landslide susceptible terrain occurs, greater losses are likely to result. In order to begin reducing losses from landslides, large-scale endeavors are necessary at all community levels from state government to individual family homes. One successful way to reduce losses from landslides is through pre-disaster mitigation, which can be performed at many scales from statewide to local. To begin pre-disaster...
