abstract="Many persons with a disability are not prepared to evacuate in disasters. Subjects (N = 710) from seven US states responded to a survey measuring level of social support in a crisis, number of organizational memberships, frequency of personal assistance services, and evacuation preparedness. A hierarchical regression, controlling for degree of limitation from disability, shows that informal social support (β =.345), voluntary memberships (β =.106) and personal assistance frequency (β =.113) are statistically significant ( p <.01) predictors of preparedness (R =.383, R(2) =.148). Interventions that increase the levels of these supports increase disaster preparedness.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
