• Social Connectivity and Knowledge of Community Resources <br />The respondent's perception of social connectivity was assessed by asking whether he/she agreed to knowing <br />many people in his/her neighborhood and whether his/her neighborhood has a social gathering at least once a <br />year. Both questions were assessed on a Likert-scale ranging from 1 (strongly agree) to 6 (strongly disagree). <br />Knowledge of community resources was assessed by asking whether the respondent knows and has contact <br />information for his/her Neighborhood Liaison, knows who in the neighborhood has a first aid kit, and who has <br />been trained in CPR and First Aid. The respondents were also asked whether they are trained in CPR and First <br />Aid. Each of these questions had "yes/no" response categories. <br />Utilization of Information Sources <br />A list of eleven information sources was provided to assess how residents receive information about Falcon <br />Heights. The list included media and interpersonal communication. Respondents were instructed to select all <br />sources that applied. <br />~1 <br />~J <br />Participation in Emergency Preparedness Programs <br />Five emergency preparedness programs offered to Falcon Heights residents were listed to assess whether <br />respondents heard about or attended these training opportunities. Each of the five questions had four response <br />categories, "1=Did not hear about it," " 2=Heard about it by was not interested," " 3=Heard about it but it was <br />not convenient for me," and "4=Attended this program." <br />Perception of Threat <br />The respondent's perception of threat was measured by asking three questions about the likelihood of <br />emergency. These included whether he/she believed there was likelihood that Falcon Heights could <br />experience a massive power outage, a tornado, or could be the focus of terrorist activity in the next 12 months. <br />~8 <br />
