Door-to-door Survey in South County for Community Emergency Preparedness

The County of Santa Clara Public Health Department is conducting a door-to-door survey in Gilroy, San Martin, and Morgan Hill from April 24 to 26, 2024. The goal of the survey is to better understand the community’s thoughts and knowledge on climate change, extreme weather events, and emergency preparedness. The results of this survey will inform future emergency response and other public health actions including educational activities, communication, and reducing barriers to resources.

Public Health is leading a Latino Health Assessment that will lay out an action plan for the next few years. Learn more.
