Description: This research examined the level of preparedness of senior care facilities in New Jersey to respond to environmental natural hazards as well as their coordination with the local emergency responder community. Findings indicate while there is coordination between local (i.e. municipal or county) emergency managers and senior facilities located within their jurisdictions, the level of coordination varies depending on the region of the State the facility is located in as well as the individual importance coordination and collaboration are perceived by both the facility administrators and the emergency managers.

Learning Objectives: After attending the webinar, attendees will be able to:

Describe how mixed-method approaches were used to identify overall level of preparedness at senior care facilities in New Jersey.
Understand how this research contributes to the literature on social capital and community-based disaster management.
Describe recommendations that have been made to the New Jersey Department of Health based on the outcomes of this research.
