AbstractObjectiveIn a population with prior exposure to the World Trade Center disaster, this study sought to determine the subsequent level of preparedness for a new disaster and how preparedness varied with population characteristics that are both disaster-related and non-disaster-related.MethodsThe sample included 4496 World Trade Center Health Registry enrollees who completed the Wave 3 (2011-2012) and Hurricane Sandy (2013) surveys. Participants were considered prepared if they reported possessing at least 7 of 8 standard preparedness items. Logistic regression was used to determine associations between preparedness and demographic and medical factors, 9/11-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) assessed at Wave 3, 9/11 exposure, and social support.ResultsOver one-third (37.5%) of participants were prepared with 18.8% possessing all 8 items. The item most often missing was an evacuation plan (69.8%). Higher levels of social support were associated with being prepared. High levels of 9/11 exposure were associated with being prepared in both the PTSD and non-PTSD subgroups.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that prior 9/11 exposure favorably impacted Hurricane Sandy preparedness. Future preparedness messaging should target people with low social support networks. Communications should include information on evacuation zones and where to find information about how to evacuate.

This article describes some ideas, theoretical and clinical, related to group treatment of residents in a New York City homeless shelter for mentally ill persons immediately subsequent to the World Trade Center disaster. I provide details concerning this group as it dealt with community-level crises that were both acute, as they related to the World Trade Center disaster, and chronic, as they dealt with the ongoing condition of being mentally ill and homeless. I discuss my experience in the group and the ways that a synthesis of group, interpersonal psychoanalytic, and community psychology principles formed a framework for working through traumatic experiences in this community.

Objective: This essay reviews George Engel's clinical and scientific contributions within the context of a personal and professional biography. An examination of the response to the abrupt loss of human bonds resulting from the attack on the World Trade Center is used to verify Dr Engel's belief that relationship and communication are central to scientific study in the clinical setting and in the practice of medicine. Methods: Engel's published autobiographical reports, personal reminiscences, and key scientific publications are reviewed in the light of published or broadcast personal responses to the World Trade Center disaster. Results and Conclusion: Dr Engel recognized the singular importance of human bonds to the work of the physician. He described the unity of complex human experiences and basic biological processes. Public and personal grief evoked by destruction of those bonds on September 11 reflects an implicit, universal understanding of the essential human connections between us all. In the work of the physician, Dr Engel proposed disciplined study of those bonds to enrich personal connections, to promote understanding of patient and illness and to sustain the physician through emotionally and intellectually meaningful work. Herein lies the connection between Engel's contributions and the grief evoked by these events.
