5 7. Is your home located in a floodplain? 8. Do you have flood insurance? 8a. If No, why not? - Renter - Dropped by insurance company - No structure on property Harrison County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 5

7 11. Do you know what office to contact regarding reducing your risks to hazards in Harrison County? 12. What is the most effective way for you to receive information about how to make your home and neighborhood more resistant to hazards? - Community meetings - - Insurance agent 13. In your opinion, what are some steps your local government could take to reduce or eliminate the risk of future hazard damages in your neighborhood? Alternate power sources for water department and purification of water facilities. Bury electric power lines. Regular inspections on utility lines to clear hazards. Remove any trees close to power lines. Harrison County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 7
8 Make sure drainage ditches and drains are maintained and clear of debris. Improve drainage infrastructure where needed. Tree removal. Enforce debris pick-up before a storm hits. Community meetings. School meetings to help students be prepared for disaster. Have communication system that works at all times regardless of the situation. Tornado sirens with backup power. Support ham radio communication system. Get more info out to low income communities. Enforce evacuations. Improve evacuation procedures. Encourage building away from coastline/out of flood zone. Move schools away from flood prone areas. Smarter housing construction. No new developments in flood areas! Adopt FEMA 55 to provide a standard engineered foundation for elevated structures. Stricter building codes. Enforce building codes, require substandard housing improvements. Limit development on the bayou. Increase green space in high flood areas. Replant barrier islands with sea oats and pine trees. Stop the paving of dirt, open fields and drainage areas we have left. Mosquito control. 14. Are there any other issues regarding the reduction of risk and loss associated with hazards or disasters in the community that you think are important? A public siren system should be installed within the community to warn potential neighborhoods of tornado threats, etc. Adequate capacity evacuation routes. Make sure drainage and curbs are clear of debris. Police presence in shelters and power safeguards for shelters. Possibly using trains, buses, etc for safe evacuation that might eliminate some congestion on highways leading from town. Right now, handling the debris left behind is a big problem. In the case of another storm or high winds, debris and dead trees become hazards in themselves. Shelters should not be located in areas impacted directly by flood waters from Katrina. Old shelters should be used as staging areas to evacuate to outlying shelter areas. Stop building in low-lying areas (wetlands, flood plains). The need for immediate relief to each community, i.e., water, supplies, medical help, transportation. The need for immediate relief for elderly during a disaster. Use vegetation to control erosion on beached and water ways. Install concrete sidewalks instead of boardwalks on the beach. Affordable homeowners insurance wind pool and all other coverage total $7600 per year. Harrison County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 8
9 15. A number of community-wide activities can reduce our risk from hazards. In general, these activities fall into one of the following six broad categories. Please tell us how important you think each one is for your community to consider pursuing. Harrison County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 9
