Hazard Mitigation Planning Underway
Suffolk County Survey Participants Can Help Save Lives, Reduce Property Damage
December 10, 2013 – RIVERHEAD, NY — Updating an all-out offensive against natural
hazards and the lives and property they threaten, citizens across Suffolk County’s 43 municipalities and
two tribal nations are encouraged to participate in on online survey as part of critical hazard mitigation
planning currently underway. Found at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V3RLXZ5, the survey is an
important part of the County’s five-year hazard mitigation plan to identify, prevent, and reduce risks and
losses from natural disasters in this flood-prone county.
Spearheaded by a community planning committee and complemented with support from
county, regional, and state agencies and stakeholders, the Suffolk County Hazard Mitigation Plan’s
citizen survey is designed to raise public awareness about local and regional hazards, and to gather key
information to improve the County’s efforts to “mitigate” or to protect public and private property and
infrastructure from natural hazard events, such as floods, hurricanes, severe storms, and wildfires.
“Identifying, preventing, and reducing risks associated with natural hazards is everyone’s
responsibility,” said Suffolk County <insert title, name>. It’s not a question about if the next big storm
will hit, but when. Our collective communities must be vigilant in ongoing efforts to become resilient to
the effects of storms and other natural hazards. Vigilance starts with each county resident and business
owner. We need everyone’s help to prevent and reduce the loss of life and property.”
The citizen survey, which will be open until <insert date>, is one of several public outreach
measures to engage community participation, along with town and village meetings, social media posts
on municipal web sites, and stakeholder planning sessions. Slated for completion by <insert date>, the
Suffolk County Hazard Mitigation Plan will serve as the natural hazard mitigation blueprint for the next
five years, making timely citizen participation key.
