Disaster resilience: what candidates said
The NAACP sent every candidate on your ballot the same questions, whatever office they are running for. The NAACP wrote the options, so each one appears below once, with everyone who chose it. Candidates who wrote their own answer instead are shown in their own words, exactly as submitted.
Disaster resilience
What will you do to keep the lights on, the water running, and the roads open before a disaster strikes rather than just responding after?
- Ensure comprehensive and culturally-sensitive disaster cycle planning as well as increasing staffing for emergency management operations
- Hold a public hearing to weigh what the priorities are and decide which infrastructure project should be considered most important for disaster planning
- Support existing disaster management planning efforts and increase transparency, if necessary
