Take part in an emergency preparedness survey Posted on July 16, 2021 by oshawaexpress in NEWS, REGION Durham residents are being invited to participate in an emergency preparedness survey. The Region of Durham, in collaboration with the Social Research Centre at Ontario Tech University, would like to know about residents’ understanding of nuclear emergency preparedness. The region says it is “committed to making sure residents are educated and informed in the event of an emergency.” This includes coordinating regional emergency response, maintaining the nuclear public alerting system, and undertaking drills and exercises. The survey will help determine how much residents know about general and nuclear emergency preparedness. The information gathered will assist with planning and program evaluation in the future.
