The Wasco County Planning Department is in the process of updating its Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. The plan for Wasco County focuses on seven natural hazards: severe weather, drought, wildfire, flood, earthquake, volcano, and landslide. County Senior Planner Will Smith says they have been working on a number of action items since 2012, adding the committee working on the update said severe weather has become a top priority. Floods and droughts were the next two, along with wildfire. There will be an open house on the mitigation plan update called “Disasters and Donuts” this Monday from noon to 7 p.m. at the Wasco County Planning Department on 2705 East 2nd in The Dalles. People can provide feedback and give suggestions on natural hazard mitigation, along with enjoying donuts and screenings of disaster movies.
