The first step in the process involved the identification of key stakeholders, which resulted in the formation of a planning committee.  

A main component of the plan update includes the identification of hazard areas.  Special emphasis has been placed on the identification of structures at-risk to flood hazards including: riverine, coastal, storm surge, and sea level-rise.  The results will aid in determining ideas to eliminate and/or reduce the affects of hazard events to Queen Anne’s County.
