Moody County PDM

Welcome

Moody County, in conjunction with all of the communities within the County, are updating their Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to better understand the natural hazards that pose a threat to the area and develop actions that reduce the risk associated with these hazards. This survey was designed to help gauge local household and business preparedness for disasters and to identify actions that would reduce risk and loss from natural hazards.

Please answer the following questions to help us learn more about the history of hazard events in your area. Some of the questions are geared toward your personal and professional experience with natural hazard events. Other questions are included to receive your input on which natural hazards pose the greatest threat to your area and what type of actions could reduce the risk from them. Please indicate the appropriate answer for each question and/or write in a response as necessary. More detail in a response will help us understand the risk better.
