在全球范围内，在美国，就人员伤亡和经济损失而言，洪水被认为是最具破坏性的自然灾害之一。尽管人们越来越关注气候变化对特定组织和整个社会的影响，但人们对影响公共、私人和非营利组织应对洪水灾害的因素知之甚少。本文使用通过在线调查问卷收集的信息，对组织的防洪准备预测因素进行了研究，该调查问卷收集了 2014 年美国公共、私营和非营利组织 2008 名员工的全国样本。研究结果表明，一般来说，组织规模和组织年龄是防洪准备的有力预测因素。本文最后讨论了结果对理论的影响，提供了实践建议，并概述了组织层面防洪预测因素的未来研究议程。
Globally, and in the United States, flooding is considered one of the most destructive natural hazards in terms of lives lost, injuries, and economic losses. Despite the growing concern of climate change impacts on organizations in particular and society in general, very little is known about the factors influencing public, private, and nonprofit organizations to prepare for flood hazards. This article examines the predictors of flood preparedness in organizations using information collected via an online questionnaire from a national sample of 2008 employees of public, private, and nonprofit organizations in the United States in 2014. The findings revealed that in general, organization size and organization age are robust predictors of flood preparedness. This article concludes by discussing the implications of the results for theory, offering recommendations for practice, and outlining an agenda for future research on the predictors of flood preparedness at the organizational level.
