Introduction:

This initiative conducts annual national surveys targeted at citizens and municipal decision-makers, including mayors, council members, city managers, and department heads. The surveys aim to collect insights and proposed solutions concerning sustainable development and natural disaster resilience at the local government level. Additionally, we facilitate collaborations among citizens, academic institutions, and our local government partners. This project is housed in the FSU Sustainability and Governance Lab.
