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