This RAPID award will support rapid-response research that documents and analyzes the effect of social and geophysical influences on hurricane evacuation decision making by collecting real-time data during an evacuation of people in the days prior to the landfall of Hurricane Irma in Florida in September 2017. The ephemeral data collected just prior to a disaster occurrence will enhance basic understanding of the role that geophysical and social factors play in influencing decisions by evacuees in the face of natural disasters. By integrating both geophysical and social factors, the project will provide new insights relating individuals to preparedness and recovery services as a way to promote community resiliency. Hazard managers will be able to integrate this new knowledge into more targeted disaster-education campaigns, and project findings will provide new information and insights regarding the ways that the growing interest in social media and mobile technology affects preparedness. Furthermore, outcomes from this research will be useful to federal, state, and local agencies and to first-responders to aid future decision making for hazards other than hurricanes.Regardless of investments in resources to improve emergency communication and planning strategies, understanding human behavior is paramount to a successful evacuation effort. This basic research project will use real-time data collection to provide new data and perspectives about the actual evacuation decision-making process rather than a more traditional retrospective approach that relies on potentially distorted memory recall. The investigative team will conduct surveys with evacuees to learn about the geophysical and social influences that have factored in their decision to evacuate. A mixed-methods approach will be used to analyze factors that impact evacuation status as well as relationships between the dependability of social connections and social demographics. New knowledge regarding the closeness of social connections and dependability social networks at the time when decisions are made to evacuate will enable hazard managers to engage in more targeted and effective disaster education campaigns. The new knowledge about factors that influence evacuation decision making also will be valuable beyond disaster planning and management, providing new insights in other domains, such as public health, social work, and behavioral health.

这项快速奖励将支持快速响应研究，该研究记录和分析社会和地球物理影响对飓风撤离决策的影响对飓风撤离决策的影响，通过在2017年9月在佛罗里达州飓风Irma登陆的人的撤离期间收集实时数据来制定，从而增强了在灾难中的逃亡者的发展，从而增强了对灾难的逃避影响，从而增强了对疾病的影响，从而使社交的变化构成了企业的发展，从而影响了侵害的局限性。自然灾害的面孔。 通过整合地球物理和社会因素，该项目将提供新的见解，将个人与准备和恢复服务有关，以促进社区弹性。 危险经理将能够将这些新知识融入到更有针对性的灾难教育活动中，项目发现将提供有关社交媒体和移动技术日益增长的兴趣影响准备的新信息和见解。 此外，这项研究的成果将对联邦，州和地方机构以及第一响应者有用，以帮助飓风以外的其他危害做出决策。对改善紧急沟通和计划策略的资源投资不足，了解人类行为对于成功的疏散工作至关重要。 该基础研究项目将使用实时数据收集来提供有关实际疏散决策过程的新数据和观点，而不是一种更传统的回顾性方法，该方法依赖于潜在的扭曲内存回忆。 调查团队将与撤离人员进行调查，以了解在决定撤离的决定时的地球物理和社会影响。 混合方法方法将用于分析影响疏散状况的因素，以及社会联系与社会人口统计学的可靠性之间的关系。 关于撤离决策时，有关社会联系和可靠性社交网络的亲密关系的新知识将使危害经理能够从事更有针对性和有效的灾难教育运动。 关于影响疏散决策的因素的新知识在灾难计划和管理之外也将是有价值的，它为其他领域（例如公共卫生，社会工作和行为健康）提供了新的见解。
