Abstract
This article reports findings from a research study designed to assess the level of familiarity Wisconsin nurses have regarding their response to large-scale emergency events. The research process identified 8 emergency preparedness dimensions, which were then investigated in the study. Efforts were also undertaken to determine the types of educational offerings and class-scheduling options most preferred by nurses.
