No statistically significant correlation was observed between the level of awareness of personnel and age, gender, level of education, or job experience of personnel (P_value>0.05). There was a statistically significant correlation between the level of awareness of personnel and participation in crisis management training courses (P_value = 0.002). There was a statistically significant correlation between the level of readiness and participation in crisis maneuvers (P_Value = 0.04). A statistically significant correlation was observed between the level of awareness and membership in Crisis Committee (P_Value = 0.05).
