Disaster Resilience Plan for Heritage Resources in Cottage Grove

The Disaster Resilience Plan for Heritage Resources (DRHR) in Cottage Grove is the result of a partnership between the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) Oregon Heritage Program and the City of Cottage Grove, in collaboration with 5 small non-profit heritage organizations in Cottage Grove (including two museums, the historical society, the genealogical society, and our Main Street organization). The overarching goal of the DRHR is to increase community level knowledge and provide a framework for decision-making about heritage resources in the case of a disaster in Cottage Grove. The project also created a model heritage resource disaster resilience framework applicable to heritage organizations throughout the state.
