Help Researchers Learn About Your Emergency Preparedness Needs

Natural and man-made disasters or emergencies like severe storms, forest fires, chemical spills, floods and pandemic flu can seriously impact many people at once, including families challenged by disabilities or special health care needs.  Please help researchers understand your family’s needs related to disasters and emergencies by completing an online survey.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School E.K Shriver Center want to learn about the emergency preparedness needs of parents of children with disabilities or special health care needs ages birth to 21.

The Shriver Center has been a pioneer in research, education and service for people with disabilities and their families for over three decades.  Your responses to this survey will assist us to develop projects and programs to meet your needs.

The brief online survey will take only a few minutes of your time. You can access the survey by going to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=fQVHbDPlA_2bfwBNT9eH8xDQ_3d_3d or pasting http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=fQVHbDPlA_2bfwBNT9eH8xDQ_3d_3d
into your Internet browser window. Your responses to the survey will be completely anonymous, but essential since they will make an important contribution to the research.

For more information or questions about the survey, or to be placed on a mailing list to receive the survey results, please contact Sue Wolf-Fordham, Project Director, at susan.wolf-fordham@umassmed.edu.

Thank you for your help!
