Sussex County and all municipalities are updating the 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) in order to remain eligible for federal grant funding for public and private mitigation projects.  The HMP provides a “blueprint” by which local governments can make coordinated, cost-effective efforts towards reducing losses from natural and manmade disasters.

The following survey is designed to help identify general needs for hazard mitigation and resiliency within Sussex County from your perspective, as well as to identify specific projects that may be included in the mitigation plan.  Given the current COVID-19 pandemic, there are questions specific to this hazard at the end of the survey to help inform future decision making.  

Please take a few moments to answer the following questions and provide feedback on potential mitigation that affects your assets, infrastructure, and/or services within Sussex County.  Please provide as many details as possible to support your choice in the comments box.  Where possible, identify specific areas that need to be improved and your suggestions for possible improvements.  If there are other important issues that you feel are not covered by this survey, please let us know.

More information about this planning process and additional mitigation resources may be found at the Sussex County HMP website by going to https://www.sussex.nj.us/cn/webpage.cfm?TID=7&TPID=11091 

Thank you for supporting the update of this planning process!
