This poll looks at local efforts to build resilience with older adults (over 65) and those with diverse needs* living in Alberta. The poll is open to community leaders with an interest in fostering disaster-resilient communities, including:
- Community groups that work with seniors and those with diverse needs.
- NGO Council of Alberta members.
- Local Family and Community Support Services staff.
- Directors of Emergency Management and staff.
- Directors of Emergency Social Services and staff.
We want to learn about:
- Attitudes toward the biannual test of the National Alerting System.
