Estimating hurricane evacuation destination and accommodation type selection with perceived certainty variables

Estimating the Costs of Hurricane Evacuation

Factors Affecting Hurricane Evacuation Intentions.

Protective actions for hurricane threats are a function of the environmental and information context; individual and household characteristics, including cultural worldviews, past hurricane experiences, and risk perceptions; and motivations and barriers to actions. Using survey data from the Miami-Dade and Houston-Galveston areas, we regress individuals' stated evacuation intentions on these fa...

Nursing homes have an even greater concern during an evacuation as the patients are primarily elderly or disabled, and require additional assistance. In thi...
