ETE Demographic Survey

PLEASE NOTE DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, RESPONSES THROUGH JULY 20TH WERE NOT RECORDED.

PLEASE CONSIDER COMPLETING THE SURVEY AGAIN.

All Hazards Evacuation Planning Survey Starting in July, residents living in Linn and Benton Counties are asked to participate in an important all-hazards evacuation planning survey. The purpose of the survey is to gather data to be used by the County Offices of Emergency Management in improving evacuation plans for both man-made and natural disasters. The survey link is: https://LinnAndBentonCounty.EvacuationSurvey.com

No personal questions will be asked in the survey. Survey questions seek information such as "How long does it take to you drive from work to home?" and "How many vehicles that are usually available to the household would your family use if an evacuation was necessary?" The responses to these questions provide important information for emergency planning purposes.

The survey results will provide the counties with a better estimate of the number of people evacuating in a given area, the number of vehicles used to evacuate, and the amount of time needed to prepare for evacuation.

The collected survey data will also be used in a traffic engineering study to identify roadways and areas with significant traffic congestion during evacuation and to identify methods to reduce the travel delay caused by traffic congestion.
