The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between lifestyle factors and disaster preparedness in older adults over the age of 65 living independently in states with a risk of natural disasters. This research aimed to contribute to the knowledge of community resilience and improving personal preparedness for vulnerable adults over the age of 65. However, further research is needed to address factors that account for disaster preparedness activities. The study explores the variables of physical disability, healthcare provider involvement, and income, assessing a relationship between factors and disaster preparedness behaviors through the theoretical lens of Locus of Control (LOC). The multiple linear regression model findings indicated that income and healthcare provider involvement were predictors of disaster preparedness, and the presence of physical disability did not produce statistically significant results. Study findings contribute to the resiliency efforts of emergency managers, healthcare providers, and community planners by investigating factors contributing to disaster preparedness behaviors of adults over the age of 65. Future research should improve assessment instruments and refine survey questions to address limitations imposed by current methodology and research design.
