Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Recent natural and man-made disasters have awakened public health officials to the importance of the public’s emergency preparedness. Guided by behavior change and media effects theories, the analysis of statewide survey data reveals that self-efficacy, subjective norm, and emergency news exposure are positively associated with the respondents’ possession of emergency items and their stages of emergency preparedness, but to varying degrees. We urge theory-based approaches to understanding and predicting public emergency preparedness.
