Press Release: Public Opinion Needed for Hazard Mitigation Planning
Des Moines County, IA
PUBLIC OPINION NEEDED FOR HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING
Des Moines County, along with its cities, is collaborating with Des Moines County Emergency Management to revise the Des Moines County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
We are examining past instances of hazards, including drought, extreme heat, flooding, and severe weather events. Additionally, we are considering potential hazards such as disease outbreaks, hazardous material spills, and transportation incidents. Our goal is to develop recommended actions that enhance community safety and reduce the impact of these hazards.
A Public Opinion Survey is accessible at your local City Hall, County Auditors Office, Des Moines County Emergency Management and on the Des Moines County Emergency Management website.
We invite all residents of Des Moines County who are interested in Hazard Mitigation to share their thoughts about challenges your community has faced due to these hazards or suggestions that could improve safety in the County or City. We kindly request that surveys, comments, and opinions be submitted by July 15, 2025.
Thank you to everyone who participates. For any questions or comments, please reach out to Shannon Prado, Emergency Manager at prados@dmcounty.com or Gail Thomas, Planner, at grthomasplans@gmail.com, or call the planner at 641-233-8942.
