OBJECTIVE: As natural disasters become more frequent and severe, healthcare organizations are tasked with ensuring both operational continuity and workforce wellbeing. This study examines the preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of a nationally ranked children's hospital in the southeastern United States during the 2024 hurricane season, focusing specifically on the experiences of advanced psychology trainees.
METHODS: Doctoral and postdoctoral trainees (N = 9) completed a brief anonymous survey examining departmental and organizational hurricane preparedness strategies and response following two successive hurricanes.
RESULTS: Results revealed variable engagement of trainees with preparedness materials and increased distress with threat of the second storm. Communication from training directors was identified as a key support factor, with trainees preferring personalized updates over broader organizational messaging. While most trainees reported their long-term career decisions are unlikely to be impacted by their hurricane experiences, one-third noted that geographic risk may influence future professional choices.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight the importance of integrating disaster preparedness into training programs and underscore the need for tailored supports to promote psychological resilience during times of uncertainty. Limitations and recommendations for future multi-site, multi-informant, mixed-methods research are discussed to inform best practices in disaster preparedness for healthcare trainees.
