2. Island County Survey
In partnership with local governments and other stakeholders, Island County is working to update the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan for 2026, and its Community Wildfire Protection Plan. These plans are updated periodically to help reduce the exposure of County residents to risks associated with natural hazards.
In order to identify and plan for future natural disasters, we need your assistance. We have put together a short survey to help us gauge the level of knowledge local citizens already have about natural disaster issues, and to find out from local residents about areas vulnerable to various types of natural disasters. The information you provide will help us coordinate activities to reduce the risk of injury or property damage in the future. The survey consists of various questions plus an opportunity for any additional comments at the end.
The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and is anonymous, unless you decide to provide contact information. The Island County Hazard Mitigation Planning Partnership thanks you for taking the time to participate in this information-gathering process.

Although this email is going out to the 800+ volunteers on our roster, this survey is open to anyone who lives or works in Island County. Please feel free to forward this far and wide to anyone you know in the county who may have input, especially if they are not one of our volunteers. We will also be publishing the link on the Island County Department of Emergency Management page at www.islandcountywa.gov/DEM.
Very Respectfully,
John Becker
