King County, on behalf of the King County Flood Control District, has begun an opinion survey of residents to find out how aware and prepared they are for flood risks, what they think about floodplain management and how they enjoy local rivers.

Information collected during the three-week survey will be used to help direct outreach efforts and improve flood and river safety. Survey questions will focus on residents’ personal preparedness for flooding, opinions about flood-risk reduction techniques, and river recreation uses.

The survey is being done by phone and online. If contacted by phone, residents can expect the survey to take about 10 minutes to complete.

The same survey is also available online at www.kingcounty.gov/rivers for residents who are interested in volunteering about five to 10 minutes of their time to share feedback.
