— from Dave Halloran —

The San Juan County/Friday Harbor Department of Emergency Management is working on a “Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan.” The goal of the plan is to identify ways to reduce the risk of injuries and damage to the island community from natural hazard disasters.

We are kicking off the effort by asking for your input on a survey about natural hazards, approaches to reducing risk, and your disaster preparedness. You can find the survey at this LINK.

The survey will be followed up with some local meetings, to be scheduled later in the Spring. If you have any questions about this, please call 370-0587. Thanks for your input and help.
