Abstract

The field of emergency preparedness is an often unknown and unrecognized aspect of healthcare, forming an integral component of patient and worker safety. While an important field, there is limited data focused on the field pertaining to salaries of workers, resources utilized and produced, and the typical working environment. The purpose of this project is to assess salary and other demographic markers of healthcare emergency preparedness professionals in the United States. The project will compare salary, full-time equivalent levels, preparedness program budgets, and other markers across the country. The data from this study will also be compared to previous survey results, which gave preliminary findings, and the data that is available through the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
