This study examined differences in evacuation, crisis preparation, information-seeking patterns, and media use among the communities of disabled and non-disabled evacuees in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Surveys were collected from 554 Katrina evacuees temporarily relocated in different areas of the United States. Results indicate differences in crisis preparation and evacuation plans, with disabled subpopulations being more likely to prepare emergency supplies but less likely to have an evacuation plan. Differences between the disabled and non-disabled subpopulations also existed in information-seeking habits. Media use was similar between disabled and non-disabled respondents.
本研究调查了卡特里娜飓风过后残疾撤离者和非残疾撤离者社区在疏散、危机准备、信息寻求模式及媒体使用方面的差异。对临时安置在美国不同地区的554名卡特里娜飓风撤离者进行了调查。结果表明，在危机准备和疏散计划方面存在差异，残疾人群体更有可能准备应急物资，但制定疏散计划的可能性较小。残疾和非残疾人群体在信息寻求习惯上也存在差异。残疾和非残疾受访者的媒体使用情况相似。
