2008 Emergency Preparedness Survey for Davidson County, TN
Emergencies can and do happen any time, at any location, and can affect only a few people, or mass populations. Nashville/Davidson County is not exempt from any emergency. It could happen here.
This is why your local government is taking the proactive approach with emergency preparedness and directly asking its citizens that either work or live in Davidson County for their input. Your opinion will make a difference.
This second version survey will be used to determine the preparedness level of the citizens and to assist local government officials in better preparing and reaching out to its citizens based on the results of this survey. This years survey will be compared to 2007’s survey results to identify any significant changes in preparedness levels.
This survey is broken down into seven short sections; each with its own unique importance. The sections are: Emergency Situations, Evacuations, Knowledge of Government Actions, Personal Preparedness, Employment, Schools, and Demographic information. Explanations as to why we are asking these questions are briefly explained under each heading.
This survey is completely voluntary. There is no specific group of Davidson County citizens being asked to complete this survey, and is open to anyone who works or lives within Davidson County, TN.
The results of this survey will be made available to the general public during National Preparedness Month, September 2008, on the internet.
Surveys can be completed either on-line, or paper copies can be returned by faxing to 615-862-8534 or by mailing to Heidi Jordan, 2060 15th Avenue South, Nashville, TN, 37212.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this survey, please contact Heidi Jordan at 615-880-2950, or by emailing.
Thank you for taking the time to help your local government help you.
