This was a cross-sectional study in which an online survey on emergency preparedness was administered to a convenience sample of adults (n = 572, 42% response rate) enrolled as Qualtrics survey panelists in August 2014. Eligibility criteria included being 18 years or older and residing in the USA. The sample drew from 46 states with most from the Western region of the USA.

Qualtrics invited survey panelists to complete a series of screening questions to determine study eligibility. Eligible panelists proceeded to an informed consent page and by clicking “next” signified their agreement to participate in the study. Panelists received compensation for their time in taking the survey based on Qualtrics panel rates. The Brigham Young University's Institutional Review Board approved this study.
