Do you live in the Little Creek and Pretty Lake areas of Norfolk and Virginia Beach?  If yes, we need your help!

Researchers at Old Dominion University are conducting a study to understand how residents view flooding and sea level rise in the Little Creek and Pretty Lake area.  We are also interested in your perspective regarding adaptation efforts and what can be done to increase your neighborhood’s resilience to flooding.   We are conducting focus groups in your neighborhood on March 16^th at Virginia Beach’s Williams Farm Recreation Center and March  24^th at Norfolk’s Mary Pretlow Anchor Public Library at 6:30 pm.

We are currently seeking volunteers for focus groups.  Focus groups are expected to last between 60- 90 minutes.  A $20 gift card will be awarded on completion of the focus group activity.

Interested in participating in the focus groups?  Complete the short questionnaire: https://odu.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_7WMBZQ5BWVpoBJX

If you cannot attend a focus group, but are interested in answering survey questions, please send your contact information to mcovi@odu.edu to be added to the survey list.
