<br /> <br />Plan Development Methodology <br /> <br /> Figure 3-1. Hazard Mitigation Plan Web Site <br /> <br /> <br />3.7.4 Hazard Mitigation Surveys <br />The planning team developed two community hazard mitigation surveys with guidance from the Steering <br />Committee: <br /> Survey #1 was used to gauge household and individual preparedness for natural hazards and the level of <br />knowledge of tools and techniques that assist in reducing risk and loss from natural hazards. This survey <br />was designed to help identify areas vulnerable to one or more natural hazards. The answers to its 30 <br />questions helped guide the Steering Committee in affirming goals and objectives and supported the <br />planning partnership in developing and prioritizing mitigation strategies. <br /> Survey #2 was used to gather input from members of the community about potential mitigation strategies <br />to reduce risks to natural hazards. Its questions focused on three top hazards of concern in San Mateo <br />County: earthquakes, wildfire, and extreme heat. The survey expanded on two central questions: <br /> How can we help reduce the risks of hazards in your community? <br /> How can we help your family and neighbors get organized and prepared before a disaster? <br /> <br />Survey Monkey, a web-based survey tool, was used to develop, track, and analyze the survey results. Survey #1 <br />was conducted from March 2021 to May 2021. Survey #2 was conducted from June 2021 to July 2021. Multiple <br />methods were used to solicit survey responses: <br /> A web-based version of Survey #1 was made available on the plan website in six languages: English, <br />Spanish, Mandarin, Tagalog, Tongan, Arabic (see Figure 3-2). <br /> A web-based version of Survey #2 was made available on the plan website in three languages: English, <br />Spanish, and Chinese (see Figure 3-3). <br /> Attendees at all public/community meetings and open houses were asked to complete a survey. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3-7
