Previous research has shown that the abilities and training of county emergency managers vary widely.  Since federal disaster response plans assume a certain level of competence, this variation may affect the ability of local counties to respond to disaster.  To examine this further, county emergency managers were surveyed on their hazard awareness, planning, and hypothetical response to ice storm disasters.Several findings emerged from this study.  First, despite variations in training, nearly all county emergency managers in the study region have a healthy respect for ice storms, both on an absolute and relative scale.  Second, those in urban areas are more likely to have current plans for ice storms, while those in rural areas do not, perhaps because of a lack of funds.  Additionally, rural emergency managers are also more reliant on state and federal aid than their urban counterparts when responding to ice storms.  Finally, although few emergency managers have participated in drills preparing for ice storms, those that have believe that the drills have been very helpful.
