Three Rivers Public Health Department, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, and other community volunteers are conducting a public health and safety survey in Washington County following the April 26 tornado.
During this official public health emergency activity, volunteers will go door-to-door to complete a survey of damaged and undamaged homes in Washington County. Volunteers are on official business and will wear identification as they visit homes.
The survey will cover various items, such as: What warnings were heard on the day of the tornado, what damage was sustained, what assistance is needed, etc. Surveys should take about 15 minutes per household.
Survey Dates and Times:
• Thursday, May 16 – 1:30 to 7 p.m.
• Friday, May 17 –1:30 to 7 p.m.
• Saturday, May 18 – 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Washington County Recovery Survey will allow public health and emergency officials to learn how to best assist the community in recovery efforts, as well as protect the community in future weather events. Participation is appreciated.
