COVID-19 Business Information

COVID-19 Business Information

Dear Friend,

We understand that the COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting your business. We hope to learn how businesses like your company are adapting to the circumstances and how this may or may not be connected to broader weather-related stressors your business may face.   Both your perspective and time are exceptionally precious, especially during these uncertain times.  Our efforts will be greatly enhanced if you can spend a few minutes filling out this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/X59XTKL 

We ask for no sensitive information and we will not identify you or your business. If your business has more than one location, please answer for only one location. The purpose of this survey is to understand what support businesses like yours need and to communicate those to those who may be able to provide assistance. We’d like to learn about practices taken that have helped reduce the impact of COVID-19, especially in the face of future hazard events.  If you feel uncomfortable answering any of the questions, you can skip them, or exit the survey at any time.   This survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete. You may opt to receive the aggregate results of the survey (at the end).

Thank you for your time and participation.
