Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Anniston Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) uses
telephone surveys to measure the effectiveness of its public outreach efforts. A survey
was conducted April 22–27, 2009. There were 1008 residents sampled within the
Anniston Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs). This survey was designed to ensure a
margin of error of ±3.4 percentage points with a 95% confidence level. This means that
researchers are 95% confident that the true proportions for these survey questions are
within ±3.4 percentage points, at the most, of the reported proportions in this document.
This executive summary presents the key results of the April 2009 survey.
In order to observe trends and note areas of improvement, as well as areas that still need
improvement, results from the first survey (May 2004) are compared to the April 2009
survey results and have been highlighted in this report.
Survey responses in this report are also partitioned by county. The county-specific results
in this report refer to the portion of the county within the Anniston EPZs. For this report,
we will refer to residents residing in one of the following counties:
Calhoun County
Clay County
Cleburne County
Etowah County
St. Clair County
Talladega County
Key Findings
This section highlights key results of the April 2009 survey. All tabulated responses are
provided in Appendix A: Survey Text and Tabulations and Appendix B: Anniston
Emergency Planning Zone Cross Tabulations of this report.
Awareness
Ninety-two percent of residents are aware of the chemical agents being disposed at
the Anniston Army Depot.
There is no significant difference between the counties in the level of awareness.
This level of awareness has not changed statistically since May 2004 (95%).
Alert and Notification
The following responses indicate the level of trust among the public and how they expect
to receive the alert and notification in the unlikely event of a chemical emergency.
i
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
Eighty-four percent of residents are confident they would be notified quickly in the
event of a chemical emergency. This number has increased significantly from 69% in
May 2004; an increase of 15 percentage points.
The top responses for all residents regarding how they expect to be alerted of a
chemical emergency are siren/loudspeaker (51%), tone alert radio (TAR; 25%),
television (17%), and AM/FM radio (10%).
The percentage of residents who expect to be alerted of a chemical emergency via
TAR increased from 17% to 25%, and by weather radios from 1% to 11% points.
Similarly, when respondents were asked from where would they seek protective
instructions, responses for TARs increased from 10% to 21%, and weather radios
from 1% to 9%. This probably can be attributed to the TARs to emergency alert
radios (EARs) project that enabled residents to receive free weather radios to replace
previously distributed TARs.
The top responses regarding how residents expect to receive emergency instructions
during a chemical emergency are television (33%) and AM/FM radio (27%).
Protective Actions
Seventy-six percent of residents agree they would be able to protect themselves and
their family in the event of a chemical emergency. There has been a significant
increase of 11 percentage points, when compared to the first survey conducted in May
2004 (65%).
When asked what action they would take in the event of a chemical emergency, the
top answer was “evacuate” by 48% of all EPZ residents.
Twenty-six percent of the residents say they plan to shelter in place, the second-mostcommon response.
Shelter-in-Place
Sixty-eight percent of the residents say they are confident they know how to shelter in
place in the event of a chemical emergency. This figure has increased significantly by
the margin of error from 61% in May 2004.
The top responses to the actions EPZ residents intend to take when instructed to
shelter in place is to close doors and windows (33%), seal doors and windows of
shelter room (32%), and stay inside (18%).
The top responses regarding how residents expect to be notified when it is safe to stop
sheltering in place are AM/FM radio (26%), televison (24%), and TAR (19%).
Twenty percent of the residents indicate they do not know how they would be notified
when it is safe to stop sheltering in place.
Evacuate
ii
The top responses to what actions residents would take if instructed to evacuate is to
leave home or workplace (32%), evacuate in a specific direction (31%), evacuate
using a specific route (20%) and evacuate toward a pre-planned destination (19%).
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
Fifty-nine percent of residents have a pre-planned direction, route, and/or destination
they would use in the event of an evacuation.
Only 2% say they would not evacuate in the event of an evacuation.
Emergency Plans
Forty-four percent of all residents say they have a family emergency plan. This is one
area which has not made any significant improvements over the past years. However,
significant improvements have been tracked for Cleburne County; from 49% in 2007,
it has increased up to 63% in April 2009.
Sixty-eight percent of all residents indicate that their local emergency management
agency has given them information and materials that will help them make a family
emergency plan.
Almost all (96%) EPZ residents are familiar with the major roads and highways in
their area and the majority of residents say they have an out-of-area telephone contact
(74%) and have identified a room in their home for sheltering in place (73%).
The percentage of residents who indicate they have the shelter-in-place kit is
estimated to be 50%. This figure has increased significantly by the margin of error
since May 2004 (40%). Similarly, the percentage of residents with disaster
preparedness kit has also increased from 38% in May 2004 to 46% in April 2009.
School Preparedness (K–12)
Twenty-three percent of all EPZ residents have children in local schools in grades K–
12.
Forty-eight percent of the parents are familiar with the emergency plan at their
children’s school. No significant change has been observed in the response to this
question.
Eighty-one percent of parents are confident that their children will be safe in the care
of the school in the event of a chemical emergency. This has increased significantly
from 70% in May 2004; an increase of 11 percentage points
Fifty-seven percent of parents say they are likely to get their children from school
during a chemical emergency. 45% of the parents are very likely and 12% are
somewhat likely to get them. This number remains unchanged since the first survey in
May 2004.
CSEPP Information
Ninety-two percent of EPZ residents say that they have received some type of CSEPP
information.
The top response for all residents regarding how they have received CSEPP
information is mail (64%).

Conclusions and Recommendations
The Anniston CSEPP public outreach program has matured over the last 5 years and has
yielded significant improvements in several areas of public preparedness. There are some
areas of improvement on current outreach efforts that would continue to promote public
safety awareness and protection. According to the survey results and subsequent analysis,
there are five priority areas that would benefit from additional outreach:
1. Family Emergency Plans
2. Shelter-in-Place
3. School CSEPP Education
4. Target Young Adults
5. Review Preparedness Information for New Residents
For a more detailed description of these conclusion and accompanying recommendations

Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
INTRODUCTION
This document contains the final analysis from the April 2009 Public Awareness Survey
of the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) site in Anniston,
Alabama. This survey is part of a continuing effort to measure the effectiveness of the
public outreach efforts in the emergency planning zones (EPZs) of the Anniston Army
Depot. This survey was designed to measure the specific knowledge of protective actions
and the level of preparedness of residents in the unlikely event of a chemical emergency
at the Anniston Army Depot. Where applicable, historical data from previous telephone
surveys conducted in 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008 are included and compared with the
2009 survey results.
The annual CSEPP Public Awareness telephone survey is used to measure the success of
outreach efforts of the Anniston Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program
community, which combine paid advertising with traditional outreach efforts, such as
annual calendars and school programs. IEM continues to monitor the effectiveness of the
survey and will suggest improvements to the survey questionnaire when applicable. This
practice will ensure that site Public Information Officers (PIOs) continue to receive
meaningful information from the residents within the EPZs surrounding the Anniston
Army Depot.
This survey report contains the following sections:
Methodology – Describes the methodology that was used to design, conduct, and
analyze the April 2009 survey
Survey Results – Describes the important survey results that were found in the
analysis
Recommendations – Describes recommendations for public outreach based on the
survey findings
Appendices – Provides tabulations and cross tabulations of the survey results

METHODOLOGY
Questionnaire Development
The National CSEPP Public Affairs Integrated Process Team (IPT) developed the core
questions contained in the Alabama EPZ telephone survey. The Working Integrated
Process Team (WIPT) and participating county emergency management agencies’ (PIOs)
were instrumental in the questionnaire design. IEM personnel assisted the community in
developing site-specific questions. The result of this collaboration was a questionnaire
that contained both National CSEPP Public Affairs IPT core questions and site-specific
questions.
Conducting the Survey
To achieve a representative sample of adults living in the EPZs, respondents were
randomly selected to participate in the survey. The Alabama CSEPP community would
also like to be able to compare survey results across counties. The entire Anniston EPZ
population was stratified by county and samples were drawn randomly from each county.
Cleburne County was further stratified by the emergency zones. The sample size for each
county was proportional to its true population. At least 30 respondents in each county
category were desired in order to make valid statistical comparisons. Therefore, IEM
over-sampled counties in the Anniston EPZ in which the proportional sample size was
less than 30. The raw data from the April 2009 survey was weighted by county so that the
sample proportions for each county are consistent with the true population proportions.
For instance, there were 69 completed surveys in Clay County, which were weighed back
to represent approximately 0.2% of the total sample. This is consistent with the fact that
Clay County residents are approximately 0.2% of the EPZ population according to 2000
U.S. Census data.
Genesys Sampling Systems (Genesys) in Ft. Washington, Pennsylvania, generated the
database of telephone numbers necessary for the completion of the surveys. The
telephone numbers stratified by the zones in Cleburne County were provided by the
county officials.
Calls were conducted in the early evening hours from Wednesday, April 22 to Monday,
April 27. Only residents 18 years of age and older were allowed to participate in the
survey. To ensure that the highest quality of work was performed, a quality assurance
plan was implemented in this survey process that included revisions for increased call
taker training, telephone monitoring by IEM, and extensive data quality control checks.
Survey Analysis
Margin of Error
In order to continue to track trends over time, the survey methodology remained the same
as was used for the previous surveys conducted in 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008. The
Alabama April 2009 survey was designed to ensure a margin of error of ±3.4 percentage
2
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
points with a 95% confidence level for the total sample percentages. This means that
researchers are 95% confident that the true proportions for these survey questions are
within ±3.4 percentage points, at the most, of the reported proportions in this document.
It is important to note that a difference of up to 7 percentage points does not imply that
the difference is statistically significant. IEM performed further analyses to determine
statistical significance as described in the following Logistic Regression section.
Logistic Regression
Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between subgroups of survey
respondents (e.g., respondent has received CSEPP information, respondent belongs to a
particular age group, etc.) and their responses to each of the survey questions.
All variables in the analysis were considered categorical variables and used as
explanatory variables in the model. A difference of at least 7 percentage points was
considered to be a meaningful difference,” as decided by the sites and the CSEPP
officials. Effects that were significant at the 0.05 level were then analyzed with linear
contrasts to determine group differences. Results that were found to be statistically
significant in the logistic regression analysis will be labeled as “significant” differences
in this report.
Geography and Population
The region surrounding the Alabama CSEPP site is divided into EPZs. The EPZs are
separated into the Immediate Response Zone (IRZ), which is the area closest to the Army
installation, and the Protective Action Zone (PAZ), which is the area surrounding the
IRZ. Figure 1 shows the EPZ and the proportion of the CSEPP population in each EPZ
county.
Some survey responses in this report are partitioned by county. The county-specific
results in this report refer to the portion of the county within the Alabama EPZs. For this
report, we will refer to residents residing in one of the following counties:
Calhoun County
Clay County
Cleburne County
Etowah County
St. Clair County
Talladega County
Survey results were weighted to reflect the 2000 Census Bureau data population
distribution within each county.

The analysis of the survey data has been constructed in a way to associate the change in
public understanding over time to specific outreach efforts undertaken between survey
intervals. These analyses provide a useful set of data for the Public Affairs IPT and local
PIOs, who provide public education. The survey questions can be divided into groups
based on general areas of concern such as awareness of chemical weapons, specific
knowledge of protective actions, and so on as presented in Table 2. Improvements have
been tracked over the course of the surveys and have been reported under each subsection
in this report.

Levels of Trust and Control
In this section, results from the general areas of concern such as awareness of chemical
weapons, specific knowledge of protective actions, are provided in subsections. Under
each subsection, answers to the survey questions pertaining to the addressed concern are
provided. The responses are compared with historical data where applicable. Trends in
the survey data highlight the progress made through public outreach over the course of
several years. In order to observe trends and note areas of improvement, as well as areas
that still need improvement, results from the first survey (May 2004) are compared to the
most recent survey results (April 2009). The methodology to track improvement
addresses the following questions:
1. Where were we before? (looking at the baseline survey data)
2. Where are we now? (comparing the current survey figures with the baseline data)
Cross tabulations and historical comparisons that were found to be statistically significant
with a 95% confidence level in the logistic regression model are documented in this
section. Responses specific to individual counties have also been presented following the
response for the entire sample of residents. A complete list of the question wording,

tabulated responses, and applicable historical comparisons is available in Appendix A:
Survey Text and Tabulations. Detailed cross tabulations are provided in Appendix B:
Anniston Emergency Planning Zone Cross Tabulations.
Awareness of Chemical Agents
Respondents were asked the following question to assess the level of awareness among
the residents of the chemical agents that are being destroyed at the Anniston Army Depot
(ANAD).
Are you aware of the chemical agents that are being destroyed at the Anniston Army
Depot? (Q1)
Figure 2 shows that 92% of residents living in the EPZ are aware of the chemical agents
that are currently being destroyed at the Anniston Army Depot.

Figure 2: Percentage Aware of Chemical Agents
Trend Analysis
The level of awareness has not changed significantly since May 2004 (95%). However,
the static nature of these numbers is due to the high level of awareness of chemical agents
among the residents. Having met the initial goal of CSEPP public awareness, recent
surveys show that the focus should now shift toward promoting specific preparedness
actions. There is no significant difference between the counties when comparing the
awareness levels of the residents.
Alert and Notification
In the event of a chemical emergency at the Anniston Army Depot, the public will be
alerted of the emergency and receive emergency instructions through several sources.
The following questions were asked to determine through which sources residents expect
to receive the initial alert and how they expect further notifications after the alert.
7
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
The following are warning systems for the Alabama CSEPP community:
The Emergency Alert System (EAS) on television and radio is available to residents
in the immediate response zone (IRZ) and the protective action zone (PAZ).
Sirens are distributed throughout the IRZ and in most parts of the PAZ.
Tone alert radios (TAR) have been distributed in the IRZ and selected areas of the
PAZ, including portions of Calhoun, Clay, and Talladega Counties.
Route Alerting is available in the PAZ for specific emergency zones in Clay, St.
Clair, and Talladega Counties.
The EAS channels provide the public multiple ways to obtain information from official
sources. However, if segments of the public are not aware of these official channels, they
may not receive alert and notification in a timely manner. The following questions were
asked of respondents in order to determine how the public expects to receive the alert and
notification in case of an emergency. Results also provide insight as to which segments of
the public may require additional outreach in order to increase awareness of official
channels.
How would you know if there were a chemical emergency at the Anniston Army Depot?
(Q2) 4
The most common source for the initial emergency alert is siren or loudspeaker with
51%. This is consistent with the previous years. Overall, 51% of residents responded
“Siren/Loudspeaker” in 2009, which has significantly decreased from 66% in 2004. As
shown in Figure 3, other top sources of alert include Tone Alert Radio (25%), Television
(17%), and Weather radio (11%).

Figure 6: Observed Trends in Sources of Additional Emergency Instructions
Trend Analysis
While most responses are similar when compared to the May 2004 survey numbers, there
are changes regarding tone alert radios (TARs) and weather radios. This probably can be
attributed to the TARs to emergency alert radios (EARs) project that enabled residents to
receive free weather radios to replace previously distributed TARs. The percentage of
residents who expect to be alerted of a chemical emergency via TAR increased from 17%
to 25%, and by weather radios from 1% to 11% points. While siren/loudspeaker remains
the number one response for a chemical emergency alert, this is the first time TARs have
replaced the number two response (Television) as the second choice for receiving an
alert. Similarly, when respondents were asked from where they would seek protective
12
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
instructions, responses for TARs increased from 10% to 21%, and weather radios from
1% to 9%.
It appears that the radio changeover media campaign was successful on many fronts,
including prompting residents to recall alert and notification capabilities. An estimated
10% of the residents still indicate that they are not aware of the sources through which
they would be notified during an emergency. However, this figure has decreased
significantly from 22% in May 2004.

Emergency Plans
Do you or your family have an emergency plan? (Q9)

Several follow-up questions were asked to measure if Alabama EPZ residents have taken
specific steps to prepare a complete family emergency plan (Q11). Figure 11 provides a
summary of residents who have particular components that contribute to a complete
emergency plan. There were also county-specific questions that were asked regarding
emergency plan components. Those results are provided in the County-Specific Results
section of this report.

Figure 12: Residents with Emergency Plan Components
Trend Analysis
As stated in the April 2008 report, “Family Emergency Planning” is one area that has
remained static for the site since May 2004. However, significant improvements have
been tracked for Cleburne County. The percentage of residents in Cleburne County who
indicated they have a family emergency plan rose from 49% in 2007 to 60% in 2008 and
further to 63% in 2009.
As per the site’s request at the August 2008 IPT meeting, IEM researched on the
available national figures for measuring preparedness level. The national average
reporting the percentage of residents with a family emergency plan, for any kind of
emergency, is around 20%. Similar to the CSEPP surveys, Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) conducted a national telephone survey of residents living within
Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs) to evaluate public’s
awareness of radiological emergency notification methods, sources of information during
an emergency if one were to take place, and willingness and ability to follow
recommended protective actions at the NPP sites. Consistent with national figures, the
NRC survey estimates nearly 20% of the residents to be prepared with a family
emergency plan for a radiological emergency.
18
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
Based on these findings, it appears that the percentage of residents with a family
emergency plan is significantly higher at the CSEPP sites. It is recommended that
outreach education continues to include information on the basic components of a family
emergency plan, with an emphasis on the components that need the most improvement.
Protective Actions
Some of the questions were designed to assess the degree to which citizens in the IRZ
and PAZ around the Anniston CSEPP site are knowledgeable about the actions they
should take in the event of a chemical emergency at their site, and how prepared they are
to act appropriately should an event occur. These questions were also designed to see if
residents would conform to the instructions provided by the local emergency
management agency in the unlikely event of a chemical emergency.
What actions would you take if you found out there was a chemical emergency at the
Anniston Army Depot? (Q3)
EPZ residents were asked to assess which actions they would take if they found out there
was a chemical emergency. They were allowed to give multiple responses. 6 The top
responses to this question have been illustrated in Figure 13.

As seen in previous surveys, a large amount of residents (48%) indicated that they
would evacuate.
15% of the residents would wait for instructions to evacuate or shelter-in-place

Sheltering-in-place is composed of a series of actions taken to make a structure safe from
chemical exposure. As a protective action, sheltering in place allows people in immediate
danger to protect themselves and their families quickly in their given location.

Shelter-in-Place (SIP) Steps
The survey sought to identify and summarize which actions residents would take if
instructed to shelter in place. Sheltering-in-place is composed of a series of actions taken
to make a structure safe from chemical exposure. To determine the level of knowledge of
residents regarding shelter-in-place, it is important to identify which combination of
shelter-in-place actions are necessary in order to shelter in place safely.
Step 1:
Stay inside, or go inside if you are outside.
Step 2:
Close all windows, fireplace dampers, and doors outside and inside.
Step 3:
Turn off heating, cooling, and ventilation systems.
Step 4:
Stay in an interior room or room with no windows.
Step 5:
Turn radio to EAS stations for instructions.
Table 3 shows the percentage of survey respondents who indicate they would take
shelter-in-place steps 1–5.
The percentage of survey respondents who indicated they would take each step is
provided in the column labeled “Percentage of Total Sample.” The second column of
percentages labeled “Percentage of Respondents Taking Cumulative Steps” shows the
percentage of survey respondents who indicated they would take that shelter-in-place step
along with all previous steps. For example, 15% of survey respondents said they would
take steps 1, 2, and 3.

Evacuate
In the event of a chemical emergency at the depot, residents may be instructed to
evacuate. During an evacuation, residents would be instructed to immediately leave their
home or workplace toward the appropriate evacuation route or drive to the appropriate
reception center.
If you were instructed to evacuate, what actions would you take? (Q6)
Figure 20 illustrates that three of the most common answers, evacuate in certain direction
(31%), evacuate using a specific route (20%), and evacuate to a specific destination
(19%), have all experienced increases compared to 2004. A more general response of
“Leave home/Get out of town/Get in car” decreased 44 percentage points to 32% in the
2009 survey.

Figure 20: Actions Taken in an Evacuation
Trend Analysis
The percentage of residents who indicate that they do not have any pre-planned direction,
route, or destination in the event of an evacuation is high. In the current survey, the
estimated number is approximately 35%, which is consistent with previous years.
However, it is encouraging to note that respondents are giving more specific answers on
the recent surveys in terms of what actions they intend to take compared to the May 2004
28
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
data. The decreases in the general responses have been significantly high and it appears
that the public do have knowledge of proper evacuation procedures in order to help
expedite the process and increase their chance of safety. Only an estimated 1% of the
residents are aware of all the steps needed to shelter in place appropriately. This figure is
alarming and should be considered while preparing for future outreach effort.
School Preparedness
To assess parents’ knowledge and compliance with school chemical emergency plans,
they were asked questions regarding their familiarity with their children’s school
chemical emergency plan, the level of confidence they have in the school’s ability to
keep their children safe during a chemical emergency, and their likelihood of them trying
to pick up their children from school in the event of a chemical emergency.
Do you have children in a local school in grades K–12? (Q15)
It was estimated that about 23% of residents have children who attend local schools in
April 2009. It has been illustrated in Figure 21. This has been consistent with previous
years.

further clarifies when parents intend to pick up their children during an emergency.
As depicted in Figure 29, 65% of parents who are likely to pick up their kids from school
in the event of a chemical emergency would do so immediately. This figure has increased

Trend Analysis
A common trend in survey results is that while the majority of parents are confident their
children are safe at school, they indicate they are likely to pick up their children from
school in the event of a chemical emergency. Although the percentage of parents who are
confident that the school can take care of their children in a chemical emergency has
increased significantly from 70% in May 2004 to 81% in April 2009, there are still
parents who plan to pick up their children right away. There has also been a significant
increase in the percentage of parents who are likely to pick up their kids immediately
from school. More and more parents feel that their child will be safer with them.
CSEPP Information
An important item that the local communities may want to consider is the degree of
public recall regarding CSEPP information sources. One way to estimate the extent to
which this is the case is to ask the public directly what they recall regarding protective
actions and where and when they heard or saw this message. This would provide an
indirect but valuable source of feedback for the PIOs regarding the effectiveness of
different types of messages and media outlets. Alabama public information officers have
targeted their audience through channels such as an annual preparedness calendar,
brochures, and a Web site containing specific preparedness information. The following
questions were designed to identify sources that are reaching residents and media sources
where EPZ residents are currently obtaining information in general.

Actual Sources
The following section includes a series of questions that identify where and when
residents have received CSEPP information.
When was the last time you heard, saw, or read any information about how to prepare for a
chemical emergency? (Q25)
Figure 32 shows that overall 92% of residents surveyed have received CSEPP emergency
preparedness information. Further, 39% have received CSEPP information within the
past year. The proportion of residents that have received CSEPP information has

Media Outlets
Residents were asked to select from a list of activities those they spent time doing during
a typical week. Further, they were also asked to specify the name of the radio stations and
television channels they listened/watched the most to identify effective media outlets for
future outreach.
I am going to read to you a list of activities. Please tell me if you do each activity during a
typical week? (Q22)
Figure 36 depicts the percentages of residents who do a particular activity during a week.
These questions were limited to residents in Clay, Cleburne, Etowah, St. Clair, and
Talladega Counties. Respondents were given the option to select multiple categories;
hence, the total will not sum up to 100%. Majority of the residents indicate that they
watch some form of television, be it a local television station (92%) or a cable or satellite
television station (92%). The second most common responses, at 90%, are read

Significant Findings
As in past surveys, the analysis found many significant differences between the residents
who say they have received chemical preparedness or CSEPP information and those who
say they have not.
Residents who received CSEPP information are more confident that they know how
to shelter in place (70%) than residents who claimed that they did not receive CSEPP
information (41%).
Residents who have not received CSEPP information are more likely to go to the
school to pick up their child(ren) in the event of a chemical emergency (89%)
compared with those who have received CSEPP information (55%).
Forty-seven percent of the residents who received CSEPP information do have an
emergency plan as opposed to 14% of residents who did not receive CSEPP
information
Residents who received CSEPP information are more likely to have identified a
shelter room to be used for sheltering-in-place (74%) compared to those who have not
received CSEPP information (55%).
Residents who received CSEPP information are more likely to have a family meeting
place in the event of an emergency (44%) compared to those who have not received
CSEPP information (24%).
45
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
Residents who received CSEPP information are more likely to have a preparedness
kit for use in the event of an emergency (48%) compared to those who have not
received CSEPP information (24%).
Residents who received CSEPP information are more likely to have a shelter-in-place
kit for use in the event of an emergency (53%) compared to those who have not
received CSEPP information (17%).
Residents who have not received CSEPP information are more likely to not know
what actions they would take in the event of a chemical emergency (30%) than people
who have received CSEPP information (11%).
These results clearly indicate that residents who have received CSEPP information are
better prepared for an emergency situation.
Trust and Control
Through research of case studies which span several decades, IEM has identified two
principal strategies for helping residents living near a potentially hazardous facility
prepare to properly protect them in case an emergency occurs at that facility:
1. Provide the public with a sense of control.
2. Enhance the public’s trust in the management and personnel of the emergency
preparedness program.
Two survey questions were used to evaluate the levels of trust and control present in
residents living in the Alabama CSEPP EPZ. The next two subsections present the survey
results for these questions.
Trust
While the content, structure, and delivery of the warning message is important, the degree
of trust between officials and the public prior to an emergency may be a significant factor
in shaping the social context within which a response takes place. The extent to which
people trust the source of a message may influence how they respond. To assess the
residents’ level of trust in emergency personnel, they were asked the following question:
How confident are you that the public will be notified quickly in case of a chemical
emergency at the Anniston Army Depot? (Q28)
As in previous surveys, most EPZ residents (84%) feel that the public will be notified
quickly in case of a chemical emergency at the Anniston Army Depot. Figure 41 shows
there has been a significant increase of 15 percentage points since May 2004.

Residents were asked to clarify why they were or were not confident that they would be
notified quickly. Residents gave a variety of reasons for their level of confidence. A
detailed list of the responses to this question is provided in Appendix A: Survey Text and
Tabulations.
Figure 43 illustrates the most common explanations of residents are confident they will
be notified quickly. The percentages shown in Figure 43 are out of the total sample of
survey respondents. Note that the top responses are trust in the alert system and the

Control
In order to evaluate how residents perceive their roles in their own safety during a
chemical emergency, residents were asked if they agree or disagree that they can protect
themselves and their families in case of an emergency.
Please tell me if you agree or disagree with the following statement:
“I am able to protect myself and my family in the event of a chemical emergency.” (Q30)
Residents who agree they can protect themselves and their family were labeled as having
a high control level, and those who disagree were labeled as having a low control level.
Figure 45 illustrates than more than three-fourths (76%) of all EPZ residents agree with
the statement above and feel they can protect themselves and their families in the event of
a chemical emergency. There is a significant increase of 11 percentage points compared
to the surveys conducted in May 2004 (65%).

Trend Analysis
Overall, the level of trust seems to be slightly higher than the level of control for the
respondents living in the area surrounding the Anniston Army Depot. Both the level of
trust and level of control has increased significantly since the first survey conducted in
May 2004.
Trust and Control Model
The Trust and Control Matrix in Table 4 forms the intersection of the responses to the
two previously-mentioned survey items, which define four groups. These groups provide
a framework for analyzing the responses to this survey.
Trust and Control groups generally have the following characteristics:
Participants: Trust CSEPP/Army and feel that they have personal control in the
event of a chemical emergency
Believers: Trust CSEPP/Army but feel that they have little, if any, personal control in
the event of chemical emergency
Watchdogs: Do not trust CSEPP/Army but feel that they have some personal control
in the event of a chemical emergency
Cynics: Do not trust CSEPP/Army and feel that they have little, if any, personal
control in the event of a chemical emergency
Trust and Control groups can be important in segmenting a community, in order to
categorize the respondents based on their behavioral characteristics. These groups are, in
essence, another demographic variable like age of respondent, gender of respondent, and
so on. IEM’s Trust and Control model does the following:
Distinguishes between behavioral traits, as opposed to physical characteristics used
by common demographics
Gives insight into the motivations and beliefs of the community
Can also be targeted through specific media channels like other demographic
variables
Table 4: Trust and Control Matrix
High Control Level
Low Control Level

Participants, 68%

Figure 47 compares the percentage of respondents belonging to the four trust and control
groups over the course of the surveys. The share of residents belonging to the Participants
group has increased significantly from 51% in May 2004 to 68% in April 2009.

Figure 47: Trend in Trust and Control Groups
In survey analyses across CSEPP survey sites, Participants have generally been found to
be the most prepared for a chemical emergency and have the highest knowledge of
protective actions when compared to the other Trust and Control groups. The second
largest percentage group is the Believers, making up 16% of the community. Believers
feel like they would have a lower sense of personal control in a chemical emergency as
compared to Participants. Their lower sense of personal control is associated with a lower
level of preparedness and knowledge of protective actions.
The last two groups, Watchdogs and Cynics, account for a total of 17% of the Alabama
EPZ community in April 2009. Watchdogs are generally ranked second after Participants
with regard to preparedness and knowledge of protective actions across CSEPP sites.
Even though many Watchdogs feel like they are prepared for a chemical emergency, they
have a low level of trust in the local officials. Activists are likely to fit into this category.
Cynics have low trust in local officials and would have low control in the event of a
chemical emergency. They are generally ranked last in preparedness and knowledge of
protective actions.
County-Specific Results
In addition to the core questions that are being used by all the CSEPP sites, each
participating community adds site-specific questions. IEM worked with the WIPT and
county emergency management PIOs to create and incorporate county-specific questions.
Some of the counties opted to include county-specific questions in the survey
questionnaire. It should be noted that for these questions the margin of error is different
52
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
from ±3.4 percentage points. County-specific results are shown in the following sections
of the report.
Calhoun County
Calhoun County added questions for its residents that were aimed at assessing the level of
preparedness among the special needs populations. The county also asked the residents to
specify the media source they would rely on in order to get information during the event
of an emergency.
Do you know the evacuation route you should follow in the event of an evacuation? (11b)
As illustrated in Figure 48, an estimated 65% of the residents in Calhoun County are
aware of the evacuation route to be taken in the event of evacuation. This figure has
remained unchanged since May 2004.

Residents from Calhoun County were asked to specify the media source they would first
turn to in order to get information and instructions during a severe weather or chemical
emergency.
In the event of severe weather (such as a tornado) or a chemical emergency, would you
first turn to the television (TV) or radio for information and instructions? (37)
As illustrated in Figure 51, the majority of Calhoun residents (63%) would watch TV for
information and instructions during a severe weather or chemical emergency. In addition,
15% indicated they would listen to the radio and 17% said they would both watch TV and
listen to the radio.

The majority (83%) percent of Cleburne County residents say they are confident in
their ability to shelter in place.
Two-thirds (52%) of parents of school children in Cleburne County are familiar with
the emergency plan at their children’s schools, the highest proportion of all counties.
More than three-quarters (78%) are confident that their children would be safe in the
care of their school during a chemical emergency.
Overall 96% of residents have received CSEPP information.
Etowah County
Etowah County was interested in finding out the proportion of the population that
belonged to any organization or group that would help people with special needs. Further,
they also asked the respondents who did not belong to any of the groups if they were
interested in becoming a part of one. This would help the local emergency management
agency to get a count of individuals who could possibly volunteer to assist people in the
event of an emergency.
Are you a member of an organization or group in Etowah County that provides assistance
to people with special needs in the event of any type of emergency (severe weather, fire,
chemical emergency)? (Q31)
As illustrated in Figure 58, 10% of the Etowah County residents are a member of an

ANNISTON OUTREACH ACHIEVEMENTS IN LAST 5 YEARS
Trends in the survey data highlight the progress made through public outreach over the
course of several years. In order to observe trends and note areas of improvement, as well
as areas that still need improvement, results from the first survey (May 2004) are
compared to the most recent survey results (April 2009) and have been documented in
this report. The Anniston CSEPP public outreach program has matured over time and has
yielded significant improvements in several areas of public preparedness. Most notably:
84% percent of residents are confident they would be notified quickly in the event of a
chemical emergency. This number has increased 15 percentage points since the first
survey (69% in May 2004).
The percentage of residents who agree they would be able to protect themselves and
their family in the event of a chemical emergency has increased 11 percentage points
over the course of the survey (from 65% in May 2004 to 76% in April 2009).
68% percent of the residents say they are confident they know how to shelter in place
in the event of a chemical emergency. This is an increase of 7 percentage points from
61% in May 2004.
81% percent of parents are confident that their children will be safe in the care of the
school in the event of a chemical emergency. This has increased significantly from
70% in May 2004; an increase of 11 percentage points.
Either through the media or secondary messages in outreach, evacuation awareness has
improved dramatically over the last 5 years. There is a 44 percentage point
improvement in the number of respondents who indicate they have a specific preplanned direction, route, or destination for an evacuation.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE PUBLIC OUTREACH
The purpose of the Anniston survey is to measure the effectiveness of existing public
outreach efforts and provide information that will enable the community to focus on
target areas and/or audiences for future outreach. The recommendations below were
developed after careful analysis of the data and are intended to both augment existing
outreach tactics and further illustrate the need for outreach in specific areas. Survey
results have indicated that the Anniston CSEPP community has reached a plateau in
improvement in some areas of outreach. Consider the following two examples:
Family Emergency Planning is one area that has remained static since May 2004. In
May 2004, 42% of residents indicated to having had a family emergency plan for a
chemical emergency, which went up by just 2 percentage points in April 2009.
In May 2004, 59% of parents reported they were likely to get their children from
schools during a chemical emergency. Five years later, the number is 57%. Since May
2004, the community has seen no significant improvement in the number of parents
likely to get their children from schools during a chemical emergency.
76
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
It would be useful for the Anniston CSEPP community to develop performance measures
that establish target levels of public knowledge for these areas of CSEPP preparedness.
Establishing performance measures will enable survey groups to identify gaps in public
knowledge or response and will allow outreach dollars to be allocated according to
objective standards that would target the most pressing needs of the community. Without
a performance measure by which to judge these numbers, it is not possible to determine
which plateau is a positive result (maximized outreach) and which one is a negative result
(current outreach has outlived effectiveness and merits reconsideration).
The percentage of residents who expect to be alerted of a chemical emergency via tone
alert radios (TARs) increased from 17% to 25% and by weather radios from 1% to 11%
points since May 2004. Similarly, when respondents were asked from where they would
seek protective instructions; responses for TARs increased from 10% to 21%, and for
weather radios from 1% to 9%. The greatest increase occurred mostly since the last
survey conducted in April 2008. This probably can be attributed to the transition from
TARs to emergency alert radios (EARs) that enabled residents to receive free weather
radios to replace previously distributed TARs. The multi-faceted publicity and promotion
of the CSEPP county-wide TARs to EARs media campaign appears to have had a
positive effect on people’s recollection of the radios’ purpose. For the first time, TARs
replaced television as the second choice for receiving an alert. Siren/loudspeaker remains
the number one response for a chemical emergency alert. It is recommended that the
WIPT continue to use the outreach materials that have been used to educate residents
about sources of alert and emergency instructions.
According to the survey results and subsequent analysis, we recommend focusing future
outreach education in the following priority areas:

Family Emergency Plans
There has been no significant improvement in the percentage of respondents who are
prepared with a family emergency plan for a chemical emergency. Based on available
national figures for measuring preparedness level, it appears that the percentage of
residents with a family emergency plan is relatively higher at CSEPP sites. The national
average for people with a family emergency plan, for any kind of emergency, is around
20%. Consistent with national figures, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Survey
estimates that nearly 20% of the residents near nuclear facilities are prepared with a
family emergency plan for a radiological emergency.
Although it is encouraging to note that the percentage of residents with an emergency
plan at the CSEPP sites is higher, outreach must continue to target the rest of the
population to help them prepare for an emergency situation. Overall, the figures appear to
be unchanged; however, significant improvements have been tracked for Cleburne
County. The percentage of residents in Cleburne County who indicated they have a
family emergency plan rose from 49% in 2007 to 60% in 2008 and further to 63% in
2009. Since the percentages for other counties do not show improvement, it may be
useful to modify the survey questions to collect more detailed information that identifies
what may be considered as “critical steps”. Respondents acknowledge that they have the
information needed to develop emergency plans. The challenge is getting them to draft
the plan. Since Cleburne County has been successful in increasing the number of people
who have emergency plans, other counties could emulate Cleburne’s efforts in this area.
Other outreach could include:
15
Integrate developing an emergency plan into National Preparedness Month
(September) activities and events.
Send Twitter 15 messages weekly with tips on what to include in an emergency plan
and the importance of having a plan
Develop a drawing in which participants must submit an emergency plan for a chance
to win a prize, such as tickets for a major event, gift certificates, hotel stay, etc.
Tie presenting a completed plan into CSEPP promotional giveaways, e.g., “Receive a
backpack full of emergency preparedness essentials when you bring a copy of your
emergency plan to the local fire station.”
Twitter is becoming the fastest growing social networking tool available. The concept of
Twitter relies on messaging services, whether it uses a cell phone, instant messenger, such as
Yahoo Messenger or MSN Messenger, or through specific websites.
78
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
Shelter-in-Place
Risk and crisis communication require different approaches, and every attempt should be
made to repeat necessary protective actions for those who either have not received
CSEPP outreach or who have chosen to ignore preparedness messages. Taking the most
basic recommended shelter steps is likely to provide much more protection than an
unpredictable response or taking no action at all. There are a number of key messages to
focus on when it comes to sheltering-in-place. However, the single most important
shortfall in sheltering-in-place preparedness, based on the survey results, is that
respondents do not indicate they would turn off heating and air conditioning systems.
While 57% report they would seal the doors and windows of their shelter room if
instructed to shelter in place, only 18% mentioned turning off heating and air
conditioning. A series of advertisements dealing solely with this issue is recommended.
They can be placed in the larger context of a sheltering-in-place as the campaign theme,
but should be clearly and unequivocally geared toward conveying this single message.
Consider the following example:
Sheltering-in-place with your air conditioner running is like inviting bad air into your
home. When told to shelter in place during a CSEPP emergency, make sure you turn off
fans, heaters, and air conditioners after you close your doors and windows. This way,
when you seal your shelter room, you are blocking dangerous air from outside your
house into the room that is keeping you safe.
This example introduces a benefit and a consequence of taking a correct action, and also
includes other key steps to sheltering-in-place—but not as part of a step-by-step process.
There is a temptation to load outreach with four or five messages to convey the most
information possible. However, with the response of turning off heating and air
conditioning systems lagging behind other steps in shelter-in-place, it will be more
valuable to focus on this one step. Analogies can reinforce the logic behind a
recommended action, and it can often serve as a reminder when mere fact does not make
enough of an impression.
School CSEPP Education
This has consistently been a challenging area across CSEPP sites. It is hard for parents to
believe it is better for the child to remain at school instead of being picked up even
though most are confident their children will be safe. Eighty-one percent (81%) of
parents are confident that their children will be safe in the care of the school in the event
of a chemical emergency. This has increased significantly from 70% in May 2004.
However 57% of the parents say they are likely to get their children from school during a
chemical emergency. Forty-five percent (45%) of the parents are very likely and 12% are
somewhat likely to get them. This number remains unchanged since the first survey in
May 2004.
The survey results indicate that very few parents are aware of the school plans. In May
2004, an estimated 53% of the parents indicated that they were aware of the school plan;
this has declined to 48% in April 2009. More parents in Clay County seem to be aware of
79
Alabama CSEPP Public Outreach Survey Report
the school plans; however, they are the ones who are more likely to pick up their children
from school.
It is recommended that a to-do list be incorporated for each month in the CSEPP
calendar. This would give residents a task to complete each month. For example, on
January’s to-do list, there could be a check list that would be designed to help residents in
reading the emergency plans of their children’s schools, as well as reading the calendar in
its entirety.
There could be a prize or promotion associated with completing certain tasks—
specifically for school tie-ins. Anniston PIOs could garner promotional give-away items
from local businesses to give to schools for contests to be held once per semester or once
per year to promote children filling out to-do lists with their families from the calendar.
Schools can also offer their own prizes, such as bonus points, free-dress days, or pizza
parties.
Target Young Adults
Survey results indicate that the age group 18-29 seems to be lagging behind other age
groups in most survey areas; they are the highest percentage of residents who do not
know how they would get information regarding how to protect themselves and their
families in the event of a chemical emergency. Fewer residents in this age group have a
shelter-in-place kit and an emergency plan in case of a chemical emergency at the
Anniston Army Depot compared to other age groups. For specific results, see the
Demographics section of this report. Anniston PIOs should consider explicitly targeting
this population to assist them in developing an emergency plan.
New and social media such as Twitter, telephone texting, and emergency information on
a ‘Facebook’ page may be effective ways of getting information to this population.
Twitter, especially, is effective for alert and notification messages during an emergency.
This age group is technology savvy and readily embraces these communications

Survey results indicate that residents who have moved into the vicinity of the Anniston
Army Depot in the last year are lacking many of the key knowledge points toward
preparedness for a possible chemical emergency. See the Demographics section for
specific examples.
As recommended in 2004, the WIPT should review current outreach that is targeted for
new residents. This outreach should not only focus on preparing new residents for a
chemical emergency, but also should be designed to build trust in the local EMA and the
CSEPP organization. New resident information should include fact sheets and checklists
regarding the warning systems, evacuation, sheltering-in-place, and family emergency
plans. The WIPT should consider coordinating with the Anniston Chemical
Demilitarization Community Outreach Office on these efforts.

In this section, responses from the April 2008 survey have been tabulated for each
question and compared with the data from 2004, 2006, and 2007 surveys for the
applicable questions. The responses have been calculated as a percentage of the total
number of respondents; however, there are some questions which were asked only from
respondents in a specific county or zone. This has been indicated in the title of the tables.
Here, the reported percentages are out of the sample of residents answering the question.
The number of residents answering a particular question is represented by the letter ‘n’ in
the tables. The results in the tables have been sorted by the response percentages in the
April 2008 survey. For some of these questions, two tabulation tables are included—one
that shows the proportion of only those residents who answered the question and a second
that shows the results as a proportion of the total sample.
General Introduction…
Hello, this is (FIRST AND LAST NAME) of CR Dynamics, working with the Department of
Homeland Security on behalf of your local county emergency management agency. We are
not selling anything. We are conducting a survey among people living near the Anniston
Army Depot regarding preparedness. Do you have a few minutes to answer a few
questions?
IF YES: Are you 18 years of age or older?
IF NO: Is there someone else I can talk to who is 18 years of age or older?
IF UNAVAILABLE, SCHEDULE CALLBACK AND TERMINATE
S1:
Do you live in (NAME OF COUNTY PROVIDED BY FIPS CODE) County?
S2:
IF NO: What county do you live in?
Note: Percentages may not equal 100%. This may be due to rounding and/or some
questions accepted multiple responses.
1. Are you aware of the chemical agents that are being destroyed at the Anniston Army
Depot?

The raw data was weighted to reflect the true County population proportions in all of the proportions in this
report. For instance, there were 50 completed surveys in Clay County which were weighted back to represent
approximately 0.2% of the total sample to be consistent with the actual population proportion.

APPENDIX B: ANNISTON EMERGENCY PLANNING
Z O N E C R O S S TA B U L AT I O N S
This appendix contains cross tabulations from the April 2009 survey of the Chemical
Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) site in Anniston, Alabama.
Responses have been combined to produce categories that contain at least 30 residents for
statistical purposes. Only those categories with 30 or more residents are shown in these
tables. Consequently, questions where all categories had less than 30 residents are not
included in this document.
In this document, respondents that named a specific emergency zone refer to only those
respondents who named an alphanumeric zone. For some of the questions, multiple
responses were accepted. Also, the ethnic group referred to as “other” includes Hispanics,
Asian-Americans, Native Americans, and residents who belong to multiple ethnicity
groups.
1. Are you aware of the chemical agents that are being destroyed at the Anniston Army
Depot?

4. If you were instructed to shelter in place, what actions would you take?
The survey sought to identify and summarize which actions residents would take if
instructed to shelter in place. Sheltering-in-place is composed of a series of actions taken
to make a structure safe from chemical exposure. To determine the level of knowledge of
residents regarding shelter-in-place, it is important to identify which combination of
shelter-in-place actions are necessary in order to shelter in place safely.
Step 1:
Stay inside, or go inside if you are outside.
Step 2:
Close all windows, fireplace dampers and doors outside and inside.
Step 3:
Turn off heating, cooling and ventilation systems.
Step 4:
Stay in an interior room or room with no windows.
Step 5:
Turn radio to EAS stations for instructions.
Table 5 shows the percentage of survey respondents who indicated they would take each
of the shelter-in-place steps. They are listed in columns Step 1–Step 5. The following
columns headed by Cumulative Step 2–Cumulative Step 5 (Cumulative percentages)
show the percentage who indicated they would take that shelter-in-place step along with
all previous steps.
