The tragedy of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans confirmed that effective implementation of public health preparedness programs and policies will require compliance from all racial and ethnic populations. This study reviews current resources and limitations and suggests future directions for integrating diverse communities into related strategies. It documents research and interventions, including promising models and practices that address preparedness for minorities. However, findings reveal a general lack of focus on diversity and suggest that future preparedness efforts need to fully integrate factors related to race, culture, and language into risk communication, public health training, measurement, coordination, and policy at all levels.
新奥尔良卡特里娜飓风的悲剧证实，有效实施公共卫生防范计划和政策需要所有种族和族裔群体的遵守。本研究回顾了当前的资源和局限性，并提出了将不同社区纳入相关战略的未来方向。它记录了研究和干预措施，包括针对少数群体防范的有前景的模式和做法。然而，研究结果显示普遍缺乏对多样性的关注，并表明未来的防范工作需要将与种族、文化和语言相关的因素全面纳入各级风险沟通、公共卫生培训、测量、协调和政策中。
