After viewing the video in this module on Community Readiness, answer the following questions. Be thorough in your answer (minimum of 3 full paragraphs).

1.) What is community readiness?

2.) How is it measured?
Tip: go back and read the section titled “How Do You Use the Community Readiness Module?” at the Community Tool Box 1. Community Readiness Link above.

3.) Identify at least two of the nine stages of community readiness and give an example of a community at each of those two stages. For example (DO NOT USE THIS EXAMPLE OR STAGE IN YOUR RESPONSE): Stage 1 of community readiness is no awareness. For example, a community may be categorized as “no awareness” if there are high rates of drunk driving arrests documented, but citizens and leaders think there are no alcohol issues in their community or that there is no reason to be concerned.
