Article Synopsis
- The study assessed disaster preparedness among individuals previously exposed to the World Trade Center disaster, focusing on how demographic and medical factors influenced their readiness for new disasters.
- Over one-third (37.5%) of participants reported being prepared for Hurricane Sandy, with the most common missing preparedness item being an evacuation plan (69.8%).
- Higher social support levels and extensive 9/11 exposure correlated positively with preparedness, suggesting future messaging should target those with lower social support and emphasize evacuation information.
