Emergency Preparedness Survey

In today's uncertain world, it is more important than ever to assess and improve our emergency preparedness. This "Emergency Preparedness Survey" aims to collect valuable insights regarding individual preparedness and community responses to emergencies.
Through this survey, we seek to gather comprehensive data that will help identify the gaps, challenges, and strengths in our emergency preparedness efforts. We encourage you to participate by sharing your experiences, opinions, and suggestions. Together, we can strengthen our collective ability to effectively confront and recover from emergencies.
