West Lane Community Emergency Preparedness and Public Information Assessment

The City of Florence and the West Lane Emergency Operations Group (WLEOG) are working to improve public outreach to provide west Lane County with relevant, timely, and accessible information about emergency preparedness and potential emergencies our community may experience. As part of these efforts, we are asking for your participation in the West Lane County Community Emergency Preparedness and Public Information Assessment.

Your participation in this survey will provide WLEOG members and partners with a better understanding of the community’s level of preparedness, access to information, and informational gaps so that we can, in turn, provide you with the resources you want and need. Your responses will also inform the direction of future public outreach, preparedness campaigns, training opportunities, and preparation events in the Florence area.

The survey should take roughly 15 minutes to complete and your participation is voluntary. Your answers will remain anonymous and confidential and will only be used by local emergency management officials to inform and direct our public service.

The survey can be accessed at https://bit.ly/WLEOG_survey or by visiting the City of Florence website. The survey is available through January 8, 2024. Questions about the survey can be directed to Emily Embleton, Emergency Management and Communications Analyst, by email at emily.embleton@ci.florence.or.us.
