Berkeley County Hazard Mitigation Plan - 2019 Update

Berkeley County is required to update its Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) and would like your input. A “Hazard” is a threat to your life, property, or well-being. “Hazard Mitigation” is any action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and their effects. South Carolina is vulnerable to natural and man-made hazards, including, but not limited to:

Hurricanes	Flooding	Coastal Issues	Thunderstorms
Earthquakes	Lightning	Hail	Sea Level Rise
Tsunamis	Winter Weather	Sink Holes	Drought
Extreme Heat	Landslides	Fire / Wildfires	Hazardous Materials
Terrorism / Security Concerns	Infrastructure Conditions	Pandemic / Disease	Nuclear Facilities

Many of these hazards may occur during the same event, but they can also occur individually. There also may be hazards you face that are not included. Your input is needed to ensure the County's plan is effective. Please take a few moments to answer the questions below to help us accurately determine the risks you face.
