Census Workers To Begin Dropping Packets on Local Doorsteps

Today, May 11th, 2020, US Census workers will be in our community in areas that do not receive mail at their home residence and/or receive mail at a PO Box. In keeping with COVID-19 social distancing practices, Census employees will be provided with PPE, including face masks, gloves and hand sanitizer for use while dropping off packets.Employees will also be wearing their Census ID Badge, have their Census logo laptop bag, and a Census laptop. Employees may be seen using the laptop; they are linking the specific geospatial location of the housing unit to the Census ID (the 12-digit code) on the Census form or information being left. Employees have been instructed to not knock or ring the doorbell, but instead will simply leave the packet on the doorstep of the residence. Each packet contains, in a plastic bag: • A paper Census questionnaire with Census ID • Census phone number to take the Census with a live person over the phone • My2020census.gov web address to respond to the Census online For more information, please visit My2020census.gov Via City of Roseburg Release
