This survey has been created by the Upper Valley Response Team (UVRT), a grassroots community network building systems of mutual aid. The purpose of this network is to help protect and support the Upper Valley community throughout the COVID-19 outbreak. By connecting volunteers with those in need, this network aims to reduce the spread of the virus by supporting all people to stay at home, particularly those with risk factors and those showing symptoms. Groups at high risk include people over 60, and those with underlying medical conditions, such as respiratory illness, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and lung disease.
This form is appropriate for both those asking for and those offering support. If your need or availability changes, we ask that you resubmit the relevant fields of the questionnaire. Please know that we will not share any of the information you provide without first contacting you and obtaining your permission. By joining this network, you are agreeing that the group is not responsible for individual members' actions; the group's role is simply to connect individuals who want to support one another.
Though we recognize that practices of safe physical distancing are essential at this time, this need does not extend to emotional distancing. Indeed, bolstering our ethics of active community care has never been more important. Thank you so much for connecting with your community during this time of crisis.
