Creating Katrina, Rebuilding Resilience
Disaster Preparedness among Older Adults
This study examined factors associated with disaster preparedness among older adults, with special attention paid to demographic characteristics, social support, and community participation. From a larger study about disaster preparedness of persons with disabilities, a total of 719 adults aged 55 years and older were used for this study. The results of the logistic regressions indicate that individuals who have higher levels of social support an…
Community Disaster Vulnerability
Access to Disaster Services
This study uses geographic and network analysis, and regression techniques, to examine access to services for vulnerable populations in disaster, and offer potential interventions to improve access. The population for this study is 67 organizations providing disaster social services in a U.S. metropolitan area, and an additional 25 organizations which are willing to provide these services but do not have a formal disaster relief function.

Disaster Research in Social Work
Disaster research in social work has deep roots in the profession'S history of disaster relief, social work'S mission to create resources and make them accessible to people, and the profession'S service to vulnerable populations. Social workers have important and unique contributions to make to disaster research through their expertise in ecological approaches, prevention, stress and coping, and promoting change in micro and macro systems. Disast…
Measuring Career-Development Volunteerism
Volunteers increasingly seek career development over altruistic goals. Studes of volunteers have emphasized professional development, experience, and training; but potentially suffer from reliability and other measurement error. This study presents a new Gullman scale, developed from a survey of 1349 Red Cross volunteers. With a reproducibility coefficient of .93, it displays a high level of reliability. Conforming to the requirements of a scalin…
