Carter County Hazard Mitigation Plan Community Feedback Survey
2025 Plan Update
ATTENTION CARTER COUNTY RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES!!!
The federal government requires all counties, cities and school districts to have hazard mitigation plans approved by FEMA to be eligible for Hazard Mitigation & Flood Mitigation Assistance Grants. Carter County's current plan expires during 2025. A committee has been formed to update the plan. The committee's goal is to lessen the damages caused by natural hazards occurring in Carter County.
Public input is an IMPORTANT part of the planning process. We want to hear YOUR opinion regarding the likelihood each natural hazard will occur in your community, the impact you believe it will have, and the types of actions you think will help prevent damages and injuries in Carter County.
YOUR OPINIONS are important to the planning process and will be included. Please take 3 minutes to answer this short five-question survey. Thank you!
If you would like to serve on the planning committee for this plan update, please email felicity@ofrpc.org or text Felicity at 573-300-9399.
