Individual-level preparedness for natural disasters and trust in disaster assistance were significantly higher among respondents previously affected by a natural disaster, who were 233% and 134% more likely to have an evacuation plan and an emergency kit, respectively, than respondents with no disaster experience. Female respondents were 21% and 19% less likely to have an evacuation plan and an emergency kit, respectively, than male respondents, and unemployed respondents were 41% and 47% less likely to have an evacuation plan and an emergency kit, respectively, than employed respondents. Age, annual household income, and political affiliation were also significant predictors for selected aspects of individual-level preparedness. For example, respondents aged \u226565 years were 63% more likely to state confidence in knowing where to get disaster information than respondents aged 18 to 34 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>With a likelihood of more frequent and severe disasters in the future, public health officials should recognize differences among predictors of individual-level preparedness for disasters and develop strategies to address gaps in preparedness across demographic groups and subpopulations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00333549251341236","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,25]],"date-time":"2025-06-25T02:34:14Z","timestamp":1750818854000},"page":"306-315","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Predictors of Individual-Level Preparedness for Natural Disasters and Trust in Disaster Assistance in the United States, 2024"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"140","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9893-6058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christine Crudo","family":"Blackburn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, School of Public Health, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"},{"name":"USA Center for Rural Public Health Preparedness, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew R.","family":"Boyce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, School of Public Health, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"},{"name":"USA Center for Rural Public Health Preparedness, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mayra","family":"Rico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USA Center for Rural Public Health Preparedness, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kirk","family":"Niekamp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason","family":"Moats","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, School of Public Health, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"},{"name":"USA Center for Rural Public Health Preparedness, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiffany","family":"Radcliff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, School of Public Health, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"},{"name":"USA Center for Rural Public Health Preparedness, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","unstructured":"Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters. 2023 Disasters in Numbers: A Significant Year of Disaster Impact. 2024.
