Resilient Cloverdale survey
Cloverdale preparedness group Resilient Cloverdale is encouraging residents to take part in a survey to help the group learn more about how the local community can assist during future crises.
“Resilient Cloverdale, a cross-sector initiative committed to advancing the resilience of Cloverdale and the surrounding community, is working with a research team from San Francisco State University to assess the role that social cohesion has played in Cloverdale’s responses to recent crises, including the Public Safety Power Shutoffs in fall 2019 and the COVID-19 shelter-at-home order that began in March 2020. This project includes a confidential survey designed to help us to learn more about how social ties, community and neighbors can assist during future crises that affect Cloverdale,” reads an announcement from the city about the survey.
According to the city, the survey will take 15-20 minutes to complete. It can be viewed here- https://tinyurl.com/yt9tnmct
