Community survey County seeks input on hazard mitigation plan

The City of Lynnwood, in collaboration with the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management, seeks resident input on a new hazard mitigation plan via a 2025 hazard ranking survey. This survey allows residents to highlight specific hazards and projects they believe should take precedence. By participating, Lynnwood residents can help shape strategies to minimize the impacts of disasters, aiming to reduce loss of life and property damage. The county's website emphasizes the importance of understanding local priorities to enhance emergency preparedness. The survey is easily accessible online, encouraging widespread participation.

This effort reflects a growing trend of involving communities in disaster risk reduction initiatives. Local authorities recognize that effective hazard mitigation requires active engagement from residents. Ultimately, this initiative will help ensure that the county is better equipped to handle emergencies and protect its residents.
