South Central U.S. Hazard and Climate Change Planning Assessment (2013)

An online survey was sent to various decision makers located in the SCIPP region and was used to assess hazard and climate change planning, information use, and applications across the region. This survey was initially administered in 2009 and was administered again in 2013 to determine whether changes occurred since the first iteration.
