As part of the activity, the county, including all participating jurisdictions, seeks feedback from residents and businesses to incorporate into the plan.
Please use this survey to submit plan review comments to the county. All comments, along with additional feedback and input, will be included in the multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan update before submission to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA.
