Public involvement activities for this plan update included press releases, creation of a website for the plan, a public survey, and the collection of public and stakeholder comments on the draft plan.
A public outreach survey was made available on November 14, 2018 and remained open for response until February 22, 2019. The public survey requested public input into the Hazard Mitigation Plan planning process and the identification of mitigation activities to lessen the risk and impact of future hazard events. The survey is shown in Appendix B. The survey was available in hard copy at the first public meeting and online on the plan website. In total, 110 survey responses were received, with 66 responses received via direct response on the website and 44 received via the shared web link.
The following is a list of high-level summary results and analysis derived from survey responses:
12.7% of respondents say they feel not at all prepared for a hazard event; 69.1% feel somewhat prepared. 65.1% of respondents do not know where evacuation centers or storm shelters are located; however, 96.3% of respondents say they are able to evacuate or take shelter if necessary, which indicates that most people manage evacuating or taking shelter through their own resources. It is possible that these results skew toward those with more awareness of hazard risk and resources to respond. Over 40% of respondents do not know where to get more information on hazard risk and preparedness.
