Sussex residents are invited to share their suggestions on how emergency planning could be improved for future incidents, such as floods or power outages.
The Sussex Resilience Forum, a coalition of various organisations working together, is leading this effort as part of its ongoing "Be Prepared" campaign across the county.
The survey will remain open for the next eight weeks – The findings are expected to be revealed early next year.
Commenting on the launch of the Local Risk Perception Survey, Sussex Resilience Forum (SRF) Chair, Assistant Chief Constable Steve Rayland, Sussex Police said: “I urge residents to complete the local risk perception survey and share their views with us. The responses will help us identify what further support and information our communities require so that we can help them to be more resilient.”
“As we head into winter, for example, the likelihood of emergencies caused by adverse weather and the related impacts increases.
“As the newly appointed SRF Chair, I am committed to ensuring that partnership activities meet the specific needs of the communities we serve. SRF members work together to ensure that the best possible preparations and plans are in place for responding to these types of emergencies. These plans are regularly tested to ensure they are effective to save lives, prevent the emergency getting worse, and restore normality as soon as possible.”
