Central Virginia Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan Public Survey

Has your home or business been impacted by damage from a natural hazard?  
 
The Central Virginia Planning District Commission (CVPDC) is working with area communities, and Virginia Tech Center for Geospatial Information Technology (CGIT)  to create a natural hazard pre-disaster plan, or Hazard Mitigation Plan, to establish strategies ahead of disasters to lessen the impact to lives and property from natural disaster events. The CVPDC Hazard Mitigation Plan is being developed to lessen the vulnerability of citizens, critical facilities, infrastructure and property to natural disasters.
