There are 14 potential hazards identified in King County: avalanches, civil disturbances, cyber incidents, dam failures, earthquakes, floods, hazardous materials, health incidents, landslides, severe weather, terrorism, tsunamis, volcanoes, and wildfires. The King County Office of Emergency Management is updating its Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. To make sure the hazards most concerning to you are properly addressed, please take a five-question survey. The five-year regional plan is designed to identify potential hazards, assess their impacts, and develop strategies to reduce their effects on our communities. The county needs a plan like this in order to receive grants for addressing emergencies. Your input will help Emergency Management understand community concerns and create more effective plans. By sharing your insights, you play a crucial role in helping prioritize resources and manage the risks that matter most to our community.
