Please take some time to fill out this survey to document potential mitigation strategies for your community as part of the Morgan County PDMP update. If a natural hazard exists in your community, select a strategy, or multiple strategies, for protecting both "existing" and "future" residents and property. Feel free to select multiple strategies for each hazard - the more the better!
