First Aid and CPR Trainin in Nei hborhood <br />8' g <br />Being trained, or knowing people in the neighborhood who are trained, in First Aid or CPR is common among <br />this sample. Half of respondents (50%) reported knowing someone in the neighborhood who is trained in First <br />Aid, and 45% of respondents know who in their neighborhood has a First Aid kit. Similarly, 55% know who is <br />trained in CPR in their neighborhood. Residents with high levels of social connectivity are significantly more <br />likely to know who in their neighborhood has a First Aid kit (p=.04) and who in their neighborhood has been <br />trained in CPR (p=.03). <br />Forty-three percent of the residents reported they have First Aid training while 53% are trained in CPR. Of the <br />residents who are trained in First Aid, 58% are women and 42% are men. Fifty percent of residents trained in <br />First Aid are between the ages of 35-54, while the youngest and oldest cohorts (18-34, 55-74) are equally <br />trained with 25% each. Of the residents trained in CPR, 60% are women and 40% are men. Forty-three <br />percent of residents trained are between the ages of 35-54, while the youngest and oldest cohorts are again <br />• equally split at 28% each. <br />Perception of Threat <br />• <br />The majority of respondents did not perceive their community would likely encounter a natural or technological disaster in the next 12 months. <br />Table 3 illustrates the percentages of residents who perceived the likelihood of a threatening event taking place in Falcon Heights. A small <br />number of residents noted that their perception of the likelihood of a terrorist attack increased during the weeks of the State Fair. There was no <br />significant association between high perception of threat and perception of connectivity or personal characteristics such as age, gender, education, <br />or child under age 181iving in the home. Similarly, perception of threat was not related to whether or not residents heard about or participated in <br />emergency preparedness programs. <br />T~able3: <br />Percehtio[lof`hhreat in Falcon liei~hts in Likely Somewhat Not <br />?~e.~t l2 ~7onths Likei~~ Likcl~~ <br />Massive Power Outage (>24hrs) 25% 51% 21% <br />Tornado 27% 53% 20% <br />Focus of Terrorist Attack 3% 30% 67% <br />43 <br />
