The inclusion of evaluations and reports relevant to the verification of proposed risk management outcomes is strongly encouraged. Please share up to 5 resources you used and/or developed to evaluate your project. You may upload them as they are available throughout the program period, or at the completion of the project. We especially encourage you to share the evaluation tool(s) that you used to verify your project outcomes and a summary of the evaluation findings (this could be a written report, summary statement(s), a formal presentation, publication, media release, etc). Please consider marking the privacy setting as “public” when possible, to allow others to learn from the tools you used, as well as to validate the risk management outcomes that your participants have accomplished, and especially if they have made significant changes and/or improvements to manage their risk.
