A SURVEY is currently up for residents of storm-affected communities, and taking just a couple of minutes to have your say could earn you a $50 voucher.

The Moorabool Community Resilience Project is working with the communities of Myrniong, Gordon, Mt Egerton, Morrisons, Lal Lal, Elaine and surrounds, to support them to be better prepared for any unplanned events that may impact their towns.

A short survey is currently up online, which will inform the project to make sure it reflects the affected communities’ experiences, ideas, and the communities themselves.

Only seven questions are asked of those surveyed, including town of residence, age, what ideas you have to make your community more resilient, and what activities you think might reduce the impacts your community has felt recently.

The survey is open until 30 June, and those who take part can enter the running to receive a $50 voucher for a local business.

To take part in the Moorabool Community Resilience Project Survey, visit surveymonkey.com/r/MSCResilience.

The Moorabool Community Resilience Project is made possible through funding by Emergency Recovery Victoria and Moorabool Shire Council.
