Evacuation Preparedness Survey
Evacuation Preparedness Survey
Emergencies can happen fast — floods, storms, power outages, you name it. When it’s time to go, how ready is your household?
This quick survey is your chance to share what you know, what you need, and how you’d get moving if the call came to evacuate. Your answers help emergency managers and community partners understand what’s working and missing and how to help residents prepare.
It’s short. It’s important. And it just might help save lives. Ready? Let’s get started.
