PUBLIC SURVEY FOR FLOOD MITIGATION PLANNING

The City of Savannah is working to become less vulnerable to flooding and your participation is important to us!

The City is preparing a Flood Mitigation Plan. This Plan will identify and assess our community’s flood hazard risks and determine how to best minimize or manage those risks and what outreach materials may be necessary to better communicate those risks.

This survey is an opportunity for you to share your opinions and participate in the mitigation planning process. The information you provide will help us better understand your hazard concerns and can lead to mitigation activities that should help lessen the impacts of future hazard events.
