Survey by Safety Region: Are you prepared for emergencies?
To better assist residents during emergencies, the Amsterdam-Amstelland Safety Region is launching an online survey. Residents of the municipality of Uithoorn, one of the Amstelland municipalities, are also invited to participate in this survey. The questionnaire can be completed until April 1.
An emergency could occur, for example, during a prolonged power outage across the Netherlands. This means: no lights, no internet, and non-functioning ATMs. The survey asks residents, among other things, whether they understand what this means for them, what they can do in such a situation, and whether they are prepared for it. With this survey, the Safety Region aims to gain insight into how residents prepare for emergencies and what they need in the event of a crisis. The results will be used to better inform and support residents.
Emergencies are occurring more frequently
According to the Safety Region, we are increasingly facing emergencies, such as extreme weather, cyberattacks, or prolonged outages of essential services. That is why it is important for both residents and the government to be well prepared.
Working together on preparedness
The municipality of Uithoorn is collaborating with the Safety Region on emergency plans. Regular drills are conducted, and research is carried out into where residents can turn for information and assistance, such as through emergency support points.
