Interviewer: Time ended ___ _ Last question completed __ Questions declined (#'s) __ Personal Observations:
“Pardon me. I am (Name) from the Disaster Medicine and Management graduate program at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia (Penna). Would you be willing to give me at least 20 minutes of your time to answer some questions about your perception of disaster and any preparation you have made?” (No)- “Thank you anyway. You may take this list of websites if you would like to find information about this in the future.” (Yes)-Thank you. Before we begin, has anyone asked you about disaster and preparation in the last month? (Yes)- OK. Are there any questions you would like to ask me? Thank you for your time. (No)- Great. This is an educational study for us to learn Applied Research methods. I have some questions to discuss with you. I will not record any information that can identify you, but rather some descriptions of your current life, some of your opinions or perceptions, and some limited facts about what you might have done to prepare for a possible disaster. None of this information will be shared outside of our class, and nothing will be reported outside of our class. I cannot offer you anything for answering these questions, other than to answer some of your questions and provide a list of websites dealing with the subject. Some of the questions may seem uncomfortable to think about. You may decline to answer any question, and may stop the interview at any time. Do I have your permission to continue? Start Time:7:00pm 1. What is your birth year? (If after 2002, loop back to the yellow highlighted line.) 1994 (For the following lines, check boxes are for the interviewer to code the response for later recall. They may be used for prompts after the interviewee has given their response to amplify or clarify that response.) 2. Please tell me a little about where you are currently living (the place you reside at night). Home - row house 3. Who else lives in the same unit? My fiance 4. What medical or special needs for communication, care, or movement do any of these home-mates have? None 5. What pets live with you now (today)? None 6. Tell me a little about how you obtain your daily needs (food, clothing, energy). Job 7. Just a little about your education Undergraduate degree
8. What is/was your course of study? Global Health 9. How do you define your community? City - very close quarters 10. What community organizations do you consider yourself a member of? None 11. What kind of an area do you feel you are currently living in? Please name the area. Big City 12. Please define a Disaster or Major Emergency in your own terms. Any event (natural or not) that negatively impacts a community 13. What do you believe are the disasters or major emergencies that could affect your life where you are living? Yes - I live in a very congested area that would make escape very difficult. 14. Who do you believe is responsible to provide for your survival in these events? Myself and significant other 15. What have you done to make yourself feel safe against these events? Planning escape plans or taking certain measures to keep myself out of danger 16. What have you saved or set aside to make your survival more likely if this (these) disasters were to occur while you were in this living situation? Fire escape ladder, generator 17. What do you believe you would need to prevail (be successful) if these events would occur while you were here? Depends on the disaster - fire would require proper fire hydrant which currently does not work on my street; flood - proper escape plan; power outage - food and water supplies that are non- perishable 18. What, if anything, has prevented you from obtaining those items you have identified? There no obvious need for the items at the moment - if anything, I would say going out and buying the items 19. What disaster or major emergency have you experienced? Flooding but it only lasted 24 hours 20. Please tell me how you dealt with that: Stayed in, made the food that was in the fridge 21. How did that change your preparedness for disaster? What have you done? Not much - just making sure food is available 22. What, if any, training in disaster or emergency preparedness or response have you had?
CPR but nothing other than that 23. How long do you think you would be comfortable without a safe space (room or building) to be in? Depends on the disaster - I would prefer to be a safe space immediately. 24. What actions have you taken when confronted with a medical emergency? I’ve never experienced one - I would say going to the emergency room or reaching out to a medical professional 25. How would you act/ what would you do if a stranger was seriously injured in front of You? I would like to think I would go out of my way to ensure help comes to them and they are safe. I would respond by calling 911. 26. How long do you think you could be comfortable without heat or air conditioning? Depends on the season - in winter, I would be able to handle maybe 24 hours without heat. Summer I would be able to survive without. 27. How long do you think your body could function in the cold without a source of warmth if the outside was at freezing temperature? (32 degree F/ 0 degree C) Depends on what clothing I have - if I’m not prepared for the cold weather, I would say maybe 3 hours. 28. What would you do to survive in that case (outside in the freezing cold/in a building with no heat)? I would build a fire, try to find some kind of shelter to shield me from the elements, and bundle up as much as I can. 29. How would that change if the temperature was only at refrigerator temperature (40 degree F/4 degree C)? I would probably do the same in case of a temperature shift. 30. How do you get your information on the upcoming major weather conditions? I ask my Alexa, check my phone or laptop 31. How long do you feel you could live without a drink of water? Probably a few days - not very long 32. How long do you feel you could live without cleaning your hands or body? Honestly, I would have a very difficult time with this, but I could survive maybe a week. 33. How long do you feel you could live without bathroom facilities for stool? Honestly, I grew up in the woods so I wouldn’t be too upset about pooping in the woods 34. How long do you feel you could live without medicine if all of your community was in a Gymnasium? Depends on why I would need medicine - I would be okay going without if it was minor like motrin, but for a more serious condition, I would prefer to have medicine as quickly as possible (no more than 4 hours).
35. What would you do if you had a cut that got infected, with pus, red streaks up your limb, throbbing, and fever? If there was no medicine available? If possible, I would go to the doctor first to have them treat my injury. Otherwise, I would do whatever I could to keep the wound clean and dry with the supplies on hand. I would watch for signs of sepsis and seek medical attention if available. 36. What do you feel would happen to you without cellphone, telephone, TV, or internet? I would have trouble knowing what was going on in the world - example: weather, status of a disaster, etc. I’d try to use my car radio to check on the news. 37. What do you feel would happen you if there were no electricity, and no travel away, for one week? I would get a ton of water and non-perishable food items by going to a local store if available. I would reach out to local food pantries or kitchens to see if I am able to receive food from them. Overall, it would be difficult as I know I would need supplies for this time but there are millions of people in Philly that would also need supplies which would likely make it very difficult to continue comfortably. 38. For one month? Similar to the above but worse. I can imagine mobs and riots happening if there is no food coming in. 39. What have you considered doing to protect yourself from COVID-19 (the Corona Virus from Wuhan) if there was an outbreak around where you live? I would work from home if possible, have groceries delivered to my home and cleaned, wear a face mask. Thank you so much for helping me. Do you have any questions I could help you with?
