The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Seeks Public Input On Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan Update - 06/22/26
Bend, Ore. — The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office is partnering with Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) to collect public feedback to support the 2026 update of the Deschutes County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP).
This is an opportunity for community members to provide input on the draft plan by completing a public survey. The goal of the survey is to collect information from the community to better understand individuals’ preparedness, risk, and vulnerability to natural hazards. This information will help support the County’s NHMP and improve coordination of hazard mitigation and risk-reduction efforts.
The survey is available in both English and Spanish. All individual survey responses are strictly confidential and are for research purposes only. The survey is open now through July 13.
