Communicating with Hispanics about crises: How counties produce and provide Spanish-language disaster information

Through a national survey of counties (n = 435) this study benchmarks how counties communicate disaster information to Spanish-speaking Hispanics. The study found that most counties employ at least one channel to communicate Spanish-language disaster information. Counties, however, believe that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state emergency management agencies are most responsible and capable of developing and providing Spanish-language disaster information.
