Household Emergency Preparedness Instrument (HEPI) ScorePrimary· Baseline (Pre-test) and approximately 30 minutes (Post-test)
The Household Emergency Preparedness Instrument (HEPI) is an all-hazards, comprehensive, 51-question instrument used to ascertain if a respondent is prepared for disasters. Higher scores on the HEPI indicate higher levels of preparedness. Excluding the Access and Functional Needs (AFN) and Special Actions (SA) subscales that are not applicable to all respondents, the minimum score a participant could receive on the General Preparedness (GP) scale is 0 and the maximum score is 40 (1 point for each yes-response and 0 points for each no-response). There is support for face, content, and criterion

Sponsor's own description
Nurses Taking On Readiness Measures (N-TORM) is an innovative nurse-driven household emergency preparedness (HEP) intervention modeled after an existing community intervention provided by emergency management personnel. This phase I feasibility pilot study will describe the implementation and effectiveness of N-TORM in the community setting, but provided by nurses. The aims of this implementation study are to: (a) increase the reach of N-TORM to vulnerable populations; (b) evaluate the effectiveness of N-TORM for increasing HEP knowledge and behavior; (c) implement N-TORM in a community located in an area at increased risk for disasters, measuring consistency of delivery, time, and cost of N-TORM; (d) describe the factors necessary to maintain and expand N-TORM, and; (e) pilot test a new HEP instrument in order to perform psychometric testing on the instrument and generate reliability and validity data.
