Hillsborough County is seeking input from its residents through two surveys — Hillsborough County Aging Services and a Community Vulnerability Study.
The county has more than 410,000 residents aged 55 and older and wants their feedback in a survey about senior centers, to learn how familiar residents are with the centers and their programs and services, and to identify service gaps.
Aging Services’ programs include lifelong learning classes, photography workshops, sewing classes, painting groups, jewelry-making, gardening clubs, billiards, chess clubs, fitness classes, ping-pong, yoga, tai-chi, table games, and more.
Residents can take the survey online until June 30.
The public’s input also is needed to update the county’s Local Mitigation Strategy and Community Vulnerability Assessment, which helps to measure and prepare for potential impacts from flooding, sea level rise, storm surge and other natural hazards.
Participation from people who live, work and spend time in Hillsborough County will provide insight into areas most at risk of flooding and other hazards. The effort will help direct mitigation efforts to keep the community safe and assure a speedy recovery in times of crisis.
A plan developed at the county level also will help reduce the risks associated with natural and human-caused disasters.
