Disaster Discovery Center (DDC) Feasibility Survey
What is the Disaster Discovery Center? It will be an interactive center that inspires disaster preparedness through entertainment, discovery, hands-on learning, and quality resources. The Disaster Discovery Center is designed to streamline preparedness into actionable steps, dispel myths by teaching facts, and make preparedness a lifestyle to protect what you value. Each exhibit will be an adventure that builds confidence and empowers through knowledge and skills.

The sole purpose of this survey is to see if building the Disaster Discovery Center is wanted by the community and if people would come to it once it's built. All answers will remain anonymous.

This survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
