A research team from West Virginia University and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry is seeking insights from West Virginians on their experiences with past floods and preparation for future floods and mental health impacts. The team is conducting an online survey on the topic and any Greenbrier County resident 18 years or older is encouraged to participate. The survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete, and insights will help the research team identify the long-term, mental health impacts from flooding on Greenbrier County residents and effective solutions that can improve disaster-related mental health outcomes and services. Anyone who takes the survey can choose to be entered into a raffle for one of five $50 gift cards.
