PRRD project team members are inviting residents to participate in an online survey and community events across the region from August 11 to August 23.
Earlier this year, residents shared their perspectives on the hazards and risks that matter most to their communities. This next round of engagement focuses on sharing what was heard and identifying actions that can be taken to reduce these identified risks.
