WHAT WORKED WELL

• Engaging already established community groups 
• Creating a diverse  and effective planning committee (e.g. town planners, academics, representatives of target communities, community volunteers, etc.)
• Designing engaging activities and workshop
• By the end of the workshop, community leaders emerged and volunteered to continue working on community emergency plans

WHAT COULD WORK EVEN BETTER
With Filipino community (Saturday):

• Survey took too long with translation
• Unexpected double night shift led to lower attendance than expected

​With general community (Sunday):

• Lower attendance within Church community
• Group was not as cohesive because they did not have existing social ties
