Assessment of the Impact of Earthquake Education on Hurri- cane Preparedness

考虑到南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的地震历史，在1989年9月21日雨果飓风袭击之前，该市曾接受过地震教育计划。这项研究旨在研究南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿地区的地震教育如何有效地转移到应对飓风雨果的适当准备和反应活动中。主要的数据收集方法将包括对地震教育计划参与者的样本进行电话采访，以及对大查尔斯顿地区未参与该计划的居民进行对照样本的电话采访。补充的数据将通过对参与电话调查的一小部分人进行更广泛的个人访谈来获得。

Given its earthquake history, Charleston, South Carolina had undergone an earthquake education program prior to Hurricane Hugo striking on September 21, 1989. This study seeks to examine how effectively earthquake education in the Charleston, South Carolina area transferred to appropriate preparedness and response activities for Hurricane Hugo. The primary data collection methodology will consist of telephone interviews with a sample of participants in the earthquake education program and a control sample of residents in the greater Charleston area who did not participate in the program. Supplemented data will be obtained through more extensive personal interviews with a smaller subsample of persons who participated in the phone survey.
