Sustainability has been important to Corvallis local government for many years. Officially, sustainability became part of organizational operations in 2004 when the Corvallis City Council adopted an organizational sustainability policy. Prior to that, significant emphasis was on cost-saving aspects of projects, such as how to reduce energy consumption to save money, but it wasn’t referred to as ‘sustainability’.
Flood warnings and watches are issued by the National Weather Service and can alert communities to the threat of hazardous weather conditions. Forecasts, advisories, watches and warnings from the National Weather Service may be broadcast on local radio and television stations, the National Weather Service web site, or NOAA Weather Radio, which broadcasts forecasts and warnings 24 hours a day. Other local radio and television stations carry Emergency Alert System (EAS) broadcasts as well during an event.
During snow emergencies and winter storm conditions, all residents are asked to remove their parked vehicles, boats and trailers from all city streets if possible. This will allow snow plows an opportunity to clear the streets quicker and with fewer passes, improve accessibility, and minimize risk of damage to private vehicles, saving both time and money.
The City Council has initiated a discussion of streets not improved to the City standard and the City’s approach to managing them. Significant differences can exist between the construction standards established by cities and counties for public roadways. These construction standards reflect differences in traffic levels and patterns, as well as expectations of residents.
