LEAP Project Survey

The LEAPing into Resilience Project aims to strengthen community resilience to emergencies through the development of a Local Emergency Action Plan (LEAP). 

This survey is an opportunity for you to share your insights, help shape your community's LEAP, and contribute to building a safer and more connected community.
