Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study explores the factors associated with disaster preparedness among nonprofit human service organizations (HSOs) serving persons with a disability. By using secondary data, the representatives of 232 nonprofit HSOs in seven states answered questions about disaster preparedness during telephone interviews. The results indicated that many organizations lack specific policies regarding shelter, evacuation assistance, and transportation services for persons with disabilities. The study’s findings also indicated that the disability conditions of clients, collaboration with governmental organizations, disaster services capacity, and organizational size are significantly associated with HSOs’ disaster preparedness. Practical implications for nonprofit managers and policymakers are discussed.
