It outlines the goals and objectives developed by the Membership, and specifies a planning period up to the year of 2015. The Plan is very general, comprehensive, and long range in nature. It is general in that it outlines broad based goals for the next ten years; comprehensive because it includes all the Tribal Members and Programs created for their benefit; and long range in that it explores the past and present situation of the Siletz Tribe for the purpose of future considerations. The Plan is designed for use as one of the many necessary tools to assist the Tribe in directing its future. Although it is just one of the tools, it should be involved in the primary decision making process to ensure accuracy in goal achievement. It becomes the document necessary for maintaining a focus on the future, while, at the same time, being adaptable to unknown circumstances that are certain to arise in that future.

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians finds that natural hazards on the Tribal lands have a direct, serious, and substantial effect on the political integrity, economic security, health, and welfare of the Tribal lands, its members, and all persons present on Tribal lands. Further, CTSI finds that those activities that potentially increase the frequency or severity of damages from natural hazards, if left unaddressed, could cause such damages. Accordingly, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Administration and Tribal Council, Planning Department, Human Resources Department (HR), and Natural Resources Department (NR) helped develop this update to the MHMP for the Siletz Tribe.“ Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan FEMA Approval Letter Contact Siletz 201 SE Swan Ave. PO Box 549 Siletz, OR 97380 541-444-2532 Monday-Friday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM Keep Up to Date Facebook Vimeo Search the Site Search for: Menu Government Heritage Services & Programs News & Events Employment Contact Copyright © 2021 Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Is there an issue on the website?
