Description:Objective –
To examine emergency preparedness behaviors among women with a recent live birth in Hawaii.
Methods –
Using the 2016 Hawaii Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring Survey we estimated weighted prevalence of eight preparedness behaviors.
Results –
Among 1,010 respondents (weighted response rate, 56.3%), 79.3% reported at least one preparedness behavior, and 11.2% performed all eight behaviors. The prevalence of women with a recent live birth in Hawaii reporting preparedness behaviors includes: 63.0% (95% CI: 58.7–67.1%) having enough supplies at home for at least seven days, 41.3% (95% CI: 37.1–45.6%) having an evacuation plan for their child(ren), 38.7% (95% CI: 34.5–43.0%) having methods to keep in touch, 37.8% (95% CI: 33.7–42.1%) having an emergency meeting place, 36.6% (95% CI: 32.6–40.9%) having an evacuation plan to leave home, 34.9% (95% CI: 30.9–39.2%) having emergencies supplies to take with if they have to leave quickly, 31.8% (95% CI: 27.9–36.0%) having copies of important documents, and 31.6% (95% CI: 27.7–35.8%) having practiced what to do.
Conclusions –
One in ten women practiced all eight behaviors indicating more awareness efforts are needed among this population in Hawaii. The impact of preparedness interventions implemented in Hawaii can be tracked with this question over time.
