This document requests feedback on climate hazards and hazard mitigation planning for the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. It asks whether climate change and severe weather are impacting hazard planning and if ice storms, extreme precipitation, tropical storms, heat waves, wildfires and drought should be focuses. The document also inquires about impacts of these weather events in the region and how to respond in the short and long term. It provides contact information to review a climate adaptation plan and invites involvement in sustainability events and initiatives.
