2025 All Hazards Survey
The Safety Subcommittee of the SEMSCO is working to develop a best practices document designed to guide agencies in preparing for unexpected events such as severe weather incidents that may impact the agency’s ability to staff and respond to calls. One of the first steps in developing this document is to assess the current state of readiness of agencies for such situations. We would appreciate your help by answering these survey questions. Thank you and stay safe!
