WRRF-13-02: Model Public Communication Plan for Advancing DPR Acceptance
The objective of this project is to establish a framework communication plan and develop an implementable, strategic communication plan to achieve DPR acceptance for the State of California.
Two model communities have been selected are San Diego and Santa Clara. The team will survey and interview these communities to test and refine their messaging. A workshop is being held in July to review findings from all of the interviews and focus groups and begin to plan for Phase II (development of a toolkit of materials to be used for outreach).
