This study evaluated whether Latter-day Saints have more favorable perceptions and practices of food and water emergency preparedness than other households. Individuals across 46 states in the USA completed an online survey in 2014 (n = 572). Results indicated that Latter-day Saints, compared to Non-Latter-day Saints, were more likely to have a disaster supplies kit, to have long-term food storage, to have preserved food by canning/bottling, and to perceive neighborhood/community connectedness. Latter-day Saints had significantly lower odds of having less than one month of food storage available compared to Non-Latter-day Saints. Our findings suggest Latter-day Saints may be better prepared to handle a disaster than Non-Latter-day Saints.
本研究评估了后期圣徒（Latter-day Saints）与其他家庭相比，对食物和水应急准备的看法和做法是否更为有利。2014 年，美国 46 个州的个人完成了一项在线调查（n=572）。结果表明，与非后期圣徒相比，后期圣徒更有可能拥有灾难供应包，拥有长期食物储备，通过罐头/瓶装保存食物，并且认为邻里/社区之间有联系。与非后期圣徒相比，后期圣徒拥有不到一个月食物储备的可能性显著降低。我们的研究结果表明，后期圣徒在应对灾难方面可能比非后期圣徒准备得更好。
