The Licking County Emergency Management Agency is currently updating the County Wide All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. We need your help! This is a plan for all of Licking County to look at ways we can lessen the harmful effects of natural hazards like tornadoes and flooding on our county. This survey will help us understand your concerns about the community we all call home. Your responses will help guide the development of this important plan.
Please note survey responses are kept confidential and will not be used for anything other than creating the mitigation plan. Participation in this survey is voluntary and your completed questionnaire indicates your willingness to participate in the survey. Thank you for taking the time to help your community with the preparation of our mitigation plan.
If you have any questions regarding this survey, please contact Jamie Stout at JamieS@AllClearEMG.com.
