Hazard Mitigation Survey Information - We want your input!
Why the Survey?
Residents, businesses and community partners are invited to complete a survey about local disasters as Mahaska County updates its Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is used by all cities and schools within the county.
Hazard mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. It is most effective when implemented under a comprehensive, long‑term mitigation plan, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
