Discussion Following the November 8th, 2018 Meeting in Ellensburg <br />Public Survey <br />A hazard mitigation plan public survey (see Figure 2-2) was developed by the planning team. The survey <br />was used to gauge household preparedness for natural hazards and the level of knowledge of tools and <br />techniques that assist in reducing risk and loss from natural hazards. This survey was designed to help <br />identify areas vulnerable to one or more natural hazards, based on the experiences of Kittitas County <br />residents. The answers to its 15 questions helped guide the steering committee in evaluating goals, <br />objectives and mitigation strategies. The survey was web-based, and was posted on both the Home page <br />and the Hazard Mitigation Planning page of the Kittitas County Public Works website. The survey link was <br />also posted on the Kittitas County Commissioner’s Facebook page. Screenshots of the postings of the plan <br />online are displayed in Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4. The survey was also sent out to a email list of over 375 <br />recipients by Kittitas County Public Works personnel. 59 questionnaires were completed during the course <br />of this planning process. The complete questionnaire and a summary of its findings can be found in <br />Appendix B of this volume. Survey input was used to inform the risk assessment and mitigation strategy <br />development.
