DESCRIPTION:An ever-expanding array of disasters and emergent public healt
 h threats has raised operationally-relevant research questions about the w
 illingness of public health and other healthcare workers to fulfill organi
 zational expectations in disaster response and recovery.  Dr. Daniel Barne
 tt from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and colleagues hav
 e examined sociological perspectives surrounding perceptual and attitudina
 l barriers and facilitators toward such willingness among these cohorts.  
 Their findings have yielded novel\, behavioral model-based curricular inte
 rventions to address these willingness gaps in health organizations.  This
  presentation will accordingly focus on findings from mixed-methods resear
 ch regarding these workers' commitment to\, and sense of efficacy in the c
 ontext of\, their organizations in the face of disasters and emergent thre
 ats to public health and safety.  The presentation will include currently 
 unpublished data on health departments workers' perceptions toward disaste
 r recovery in a variety of Hurricane Sandy-impacted U.S. jurisdictions fro
 m the states of Maryland and New Jersey.  The presentation will also expli
 citly address broader organizational behavior-relevant implications of the
 se and related findings for current and future disaster preparedness\, res
 ponse and recovery efforts\, including in international contexts.
