5000051236 - Post-event surveys for the Health and Air Quality Forecasting Program (5000051236)

The Health and Air Quality Forecasting Program of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) provides air quality forecasts to Canadians, and also focuses on the weather elements that effect public health, extreme temperatures, and ultra violet radiation as represented by the UV Index. Our goal is to provide Canadians with the risk communication information they need to act to protect their health, the health of those close to them, and the environment. Our health based weather forecasts and warnings are especially important to those most at risk from the negative effects of air pollution and extreme temperature.

As part of our ongoing program performance management, we have run two to five (2-5) post event surveys a year during air quality and/or extreme temperature events. We use the post event surveys to help us determine:

If the public received the forecast/advisory

 If the public understood the forecast/advisory

 If the public did anything differently because of the forecast/advisory.

Run post-event surveys for the Health and Air Quality Forecasting Program.

Up to five (5) post-event surveys will be run during the contract, with an option for two (2) additional years, giving a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of fifteen (15) post-event surveys.
