Hays County Hazard Mitigation Plan As of February 15, 2017, there were a total Organize and Review of 729 survey responses. Responses to the survey were directly integrated into the Risk Ranking activity of the Risk Assessment phase, as public perception of risk was included as a measurement in the ranking formula. This direct incorporation of their feedback provided not only a factor in the ranking of the risk associated with the hazards that their community faces, but also was a factor in the prioritization of Mitigation Strategy Actions. Details regarding the risk ranking can be found in Chapter 2: Risk Assessment. Details regarding the prioritization of Mitigation Strategy Actions can be found in Chapter 3: Mitigation Strategy.

The newsletters were provided in both hard copy and digital format. Examples of the newsletters can be found in Appendix A.
