The purpose of this survey is to gather information on the perceptions and experiences of stakeholders in Erie County to extreme weather events. This information will help the Community Resilience Action Network of Erie (CRANE) develop methods and strategies for building resilience in Erie County to these events.

The term "extreme" refers to unexpected, unusually severe, or unseasonal weather events that deviate from historical norms.

All questions in this survey are optional; however, the more information you provide, the better understanding CRANE will have for ongoing work. Name and e-mail address will be used solely for the purposes of follow-up for more information and invitation to participate in additional community engagement workshops as part of this project.

Questions can be answered from either your personal experiences, job experiences or both. 

The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete.
