The White River School District and Department of Emergency Management are in the process of updating 2020 - 2025 WRSD Mitigation Plan. Mitigation planning includes the following elements: Public Involvement, Risk Assessment, and Mitigation Strategy around hazard related losses. Mitigation planning helps reduce the physical, financial and emotional losses caused by disasters. Mitigation Plans are required of all state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, per RCW 90.74.020 and hazard mitigation plans are updated every five years.

As a requirement of this plan, we are seeking community feedback related to emergency preparedness. The survey is:

• Optional to Complete

• Anonymous

• Open Friday, November 8, 2024 and closes Monday, January 6, 2025.
