Korean Translation and Validation of the K-HEPI in NYC

The intervention group will be educated about household emergency preparedness via a presentation and the Korean version of a New York City community-specific booklet called Ready New York: My Emergency Plan (NYC Emergency Management, 2022). The intervention will begin with instructing the participant to start the booklet during class 1 and completing it for homework. The class content will complement the booklet and the K-HEPI. The booklet includes preparedness recommendations, evacuation zone information, a disaster supply kit contents list, local utility company contact information, shelter locations, and special needs and priority utility restoration registry information. During class 2, study personnel will check for completion of the booklets, answer any questions that the participants may have about the evacuation and communication plans and disaster kits, and facilitate group discussion to foster social support from other community members.
