When a disaster strikes, Milwaukians will have to count on each other in the community, workplace, and at home in order to be safe until responders arrive.

Oregon's Office of Emergency Management (OEM) encourages everyone to prepare themselves to be on their own for a minimum of two weeks. This lessens the strain on emergency responders who need to focus limited resources on injured and other vulnerable populations immediately following a disaster.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the website for the Milwaukie Police Department.  The men and women of our agency are committed to consistently providing the finest police services possible.  

The City of Milwaukie is committed to protecting its community’s water quality from the impacts of sediments in our local streams, wetlands, rivers, and groundwater. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified erosion as the single largest significant cause of impaired water quality in rivers, streams, and wetlands. Sediment deposition is a contributing factor in the decline of Salmonoid populations in our region and a reduction in flood storage.

The 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments requires all public water systems to provide residents with an annual water quality report referred to as the “Consumer Confidence Report."

The CCR provides the water department with the opportunity to share information regarding drinking water with its customers.

The Fats, Oils, and Greases (FOG) program exists to reduce/eliminate sanitary sewer overflows. The leading preventable cause of non-weather related sanitary sewer overflows nation-wide has been build-up and blockages from FOG material restricting the flow of sewage. Blocked or restricted sewer pipes can cause raw sewage to back up into homes or businesses, or overflow into streets and streams.
