Community Resilience Expo reports and feedback form

The Eastern Bays Community Resilience Expo was a great success but had a lower  turnout than we hoped for. We hope to change that.

If you attended, or even if you didn’t – we would like to hear from you.

Please complete the following form as much as you can, we want your opinions and ideas on where to go next and what to next time. Thank you!
If you want a reminder, the Expo details are here.

If you are interested in details, a report on organising the event is available , and also my analysis of what to do in future (both are shared Google docs).

Can you suggest any community groups, businesses, individuals (incl. yourself) who may be able to help in a practical way in an emergency?

Any groups who can provide support, facilities, or have have skills and equipment to support a community response. I.e. the water distribution response relies on utility vehicles capable of transporting 1000 litre water bladders to distribution sites. Include a contact if possible.
