- 3. Why we were interested? • Person County experiences four seasons! • Most of the commercial, professional and health service activity is in the City limits, Roxboro (County center) • Natural and man-made disasters or disruptions are somewhat common, vary in intensity and depth of affecting local citizens, i.e. crippling winter storms vs. localized parking lot flooding • I contacted NADO after contracting with Person County and Roxboro on a hazard mitigation plan update • Updating the regional CEDS, so good timing!

North Carolina CEDS 2014 Plan Alignment Kerr-Tar Region CEDS 2013 - 2017 Work plan • The 2014 work plan tasked updating a hazard mitigation plan for city of Roxboro and Person County into a multi- jurisdictional plan • NADO Research Foundation and the Center for Hazard and Policy Research worked with Kerr Tar to develop a technical memo on syncing hazard mitigation planning and CEDS activities to foster improved community resiliency

Benefits of Plan Coordination
- 10. HAPPENING NOW • Business continuity planning outreach – Educating our communities on the impacts of short and long term natural and man made hazards • Add a resiliency analysis section to CEDS and update periodically • Build a case for resiliency in other planning documents – Provide tailored research and reference information for easy-to-make resiliency planning in local government comprehensive and land-use plan updates.
