Public Participation Needed!

South Central Connecticut Hazard Mitigation Plan Survey

The South Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG) and its municipalities are working together to prepare an update to the Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan. The purpose of this plan is to identify and assess the Region’s natural hazard risks (such as flooding, winter storms, and hurricanes) and determine how to best minimize or manage those risks. Public participation is essential!

To help increase public participation SCRCOG has launched the South Central Connecticut Hazard Mitigation Plan Survey that provides an opportunity for everyone in the planning area to share his or her opinions and participate in the mitigation planning process. The information provided will help the Planning Team to better understand local concerns and issues as expressed by citizens of the Region, and can lead to mitigation activities that should help lessen the impacts of future disasters.

Participation in this survey is voluntary and none of the information provided will be attributed to individuals directly.  The survey is located on the SCRCOG website and will only take about 5 minutes to complete. It is available in English and in Spanish.

To participate in the survey, go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CTMitigation

The public will have additional opportunities to participate in the development of the Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan by attending public meetings and reviewing the draft plan. These opportunities will be announced in the coming months.
