9 Emergency Preparedness Planning for Limited English Proficient (LEP) Populations in Hawaii
10 The 2006 American Community Survey (ACS) estimates that about 24% of Hawaii s population of 1.2 million speak a language other than English at home.
11 INCIDENCE OF OTHER LANGUAGE SPEAKERS IN HAWAII'S MASS MARKET AUDIENCE No = 70% Yes = 30% What language is that? Ilocano 36% Japanese 19% Hawaiian 14% Tagalog 11% Spanish 11% Korean 3% Samoan 3% Chinese 2% (n=389)
12 During the wake of 9/11 it became clear that one of the major problems that LEP Communities face during a disaster or emergency situation is the communication barrier between LEP groups and first responders and care providers.
13 Project Implementation Project Title: Development of Language Identification and Emergency Cards (LIEC) Time Frame: August 2007 June 2008 Partnerships established between the Hawaii State Civil Defense Citizen Corps, Department of Health, and the Interagency Council on Immigrant Services. Developed emergency preparedness messages and included identification of the user s primary language spoken.
14 Traditionally, professionals in Public Health have developed personal emergency health cards that contain personal health information that emergency medical service responders need to know about the individual if they find them unconscious or incoherent.
15 The traditional public health emergency health cards usually contained information listing medications being taken, allergies and sensitivities, medical conditions, and important contact people that the emergency responder may call in the event of an emergency.
16 The opportunity for us is to work with agencies who serve LEP populations to assure inclusion of emergency preparedness messages and the importance of being prepared as part of any intervention. The partnership between those who work on preparedness issues and those who work with LEP populations becomes critical.
17 Language Identification and Emergency Cards (LIEC)
18 Project Implementation Formatted and designed the English version of the LIEC cards. Determined the languages that the LIEC cards would be translated into by using State LEP population data.
19 Language Identification and Emergency Cards (LIEC) Translation Languages Cantonese Cebuano Chu'ukese Ilokano Japanese Korean Kosraean Mandarin Marshallese Pohnpean Samoan Spanish Tagalog Tongan Vietnamese Yapese
20 Lessons Learned Clear purpose and utility of the product The goal of the LIEC is to reduce barriers for LEP populations to access, utilize and understand preparedness, disaster and recovery messages, services and resources.
