Thank you to all who helped make Chenango County Count!

Thank you to Zach at The Evening Sun for spreading the word. The survey only takes about 10-15 minutes and is based on your own experiences with hazards in Chenango County.

Community Input Needed! We are looking for your experience with Hazards in Chenango County. What do we mean by hazards? Flooding, severe storms, winter storms, tornadoes, etc. Please take our Citizen Survey so your input can be incorporated into the Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan. As of today we only have 140 responses and we'd like more!... Your input will help us develop initiatives to prepare Chenango County residents for future weather events, make our infrastructure more resilient, and allow us to apply for needed funding to implement these programs.
