The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) created a survey to better understand the experiences of volunteer and combination fire, EMS, and rescue departments dealing with the outbreak of COVID-19 and related social distancing measures.
NVFC asks that all take a few minutes to complete the survey here and that one re-takes the survey once a week so that NVFC can track changes over time. The more responses the survey receives the more robust and useful the data are, keeping NVFC informed about the experiences.
Survey Results
Respondents were asked to indicate areas where they are experiencing challenges. Overall, 18.7 percent (86 of 456) of responses between 3/20 and 5/7 were from respondents who completed the survey multiple times.
