Public Input Sought for Update to Hazard Mitigation Plan

The public is being urged to participate in the process of updating the Wyoming Region 1 Hazard Mitigation Plan.

A release from Sheridan County Emergency Management explained that Campbell, Crook, Johnson, Sheridan, and Weston Counties make up Region 1, and they are asking residents who live, work, or play in Region 1 counties to share their experiences and opinions by taking a short, online survey, which will help the planning team better understand the vulnerabilities across the region and solicit input on ways to best mitigate or reduce impacts of hazards before they happen.

The Hazard Mitigation Plan “analyzes the region’s vulnerabilities to natural hazards and identifies mitigation actions that can be taken to minimize property damage, reduce injuries and loss of life, and lessen the overall impacts of disasters.”

The survey has 11 questions and should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

The survey is available at http://Forms.office.com/r/rwML1dDL4z
