"Community assessments" : door-to-door questioning of food supplies in Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Whether it's flooding or another severe weather event, emergency officials want to make sure Tennesseans are prepared. A community assessment will get underway Thursday across Davidson County. Tennessee has been hit hard with natural disasters --from a devastating flood in May 2010 to several strings of severe storms and tornadoes that ripped through the state in just the last year and a half. The Metro Public Health and the Tennessee Department of Health will be using a tool designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to go door to door and check to see how disaster ready you are. The door to door assessment will take place from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday. It will be in 30 neighborhoods in Davidson County that have been randomly selected to be the target of a door to door assessment. Saturday will be used as a backup day if the assessments are not completed by Friday. Participants will be asked a list of 22 questions. They may include: What is your primary way of getting information during a disaster or emergency? What special assistance might you need from emergency responders during an emergency? http://www.newschannel5.com/story/15948523/door-to-door-assessment-for-disaster-preparedness
