SECTION 2: PLANNING PROCESS
Hurricane was rated the most significant hazard, followed by tornado, severe winter storm, and severe weather. Landslide was rated the least significant hazard, followed by dam failure and earthquake. Many respondents who reported having taken steps to mitigate risk at home reported preparedness actions such as emergency kits and supplies and evacuation plans. Few respondents noted prevention or property protection actions; therefore, these may be important ideas to promote in outreach. Respondents largely favored emergency services projects and structural projects for mitigation.
Detailed survey results are provided in Appendix B.

INVOLVING THE STAKEHOLDERS
In addition to representatives of each participating jurisdiction, the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee included a variety of stakeholders. Stakeholders on the HMPC included representatives from Cary CERT and Wake County EMS. Representatives from North Carolina Emergency Management also attended HMPC meetings. Input from additional stakeholders, including neighboring communities, was solicited through invitations to the open public meetings and distribution of the public survey. However, if any additional stakeholders representing other agencies and organizations participated through the public survey, that information is unknown due to the anonymous nature of the survey.
