Download or read book Evacuate Or Not written by Adithya Raam Sankar and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent hurricanes in the Atlantic region of southern United States triggered a series of evacuation orders in the coastal cities of Florida, Texas and Georgia. While some of these were voluntary evacuations, most of them were mandatory orders that the residents had to follow. In spite of the government asking people to vacate their homes for their own safety, many did not evacuate. Various reasons motivate individuals to choose to stay or vacate. We aim to understand the factors involved in this decision-making process and model these in a partially observable Markov decision process, which predicts whether a person will evacuate or not given his or her current situation. We consider the features of the particular hurricane, the situation that the individual is experiencing, and demographic factors that influence the decision making of individuals. The model is represented as a dynamic influence diagram and evaluated on data collected through a comprehensive survey of hurricane-impacted individuals. We also propose an improvised method of k-means clustering for tweets that considers the context of the text rather than just the cosine similarity.
Download or read book Lower Southeast Florida Hurricane Evacuation Study written by Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: the lower southeast Florida region, comprised of Monroe, Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, has been identified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as one of the most hurricane vulnerable areas of the United States. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, recognizing the need to identify and measure time components critical to the hurricane evacuation process, provided funding through its Flood Plain Management Services Program and leadership to accomplish this study. Funding assistance was also provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Detailed technical study results are provided through this Technical Data Report. Implementation Reports will be developed subsequently by county civil defense officials with the assistance of the Jacksonville District, Corps of Engineers to provide a decision making guide for local county officials. Public information materials will then be developed by the South Florida and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Councils. Major technical work tasks were performed by Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc. under contract to and under the guidance of, the Jacksonville District, Corps of Engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When government officials become aware of an impending disaster, they may take steps to protect citizens before the incident occurs. Evacuation of the geographic area that may be affected is one option to ensure public safety. If implemented properly, evacuation can be an effective strategy for saving lives. Decisions to evacuate may require officials to balance potentially costly, hazardous, or unnecessary evacuations against the possibility of loss of life due to a delayed order to evacuate. Contents: (1) Intro.; (2) Examples of Fed. Evacuation Policy; (3) Evacuations: Lessons Learned from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; (4) Congressional Issues; (5) Pending Legislation in the 111th Congress.

Download or read book The Role of Hurricane Characteristics and Storm Track on Evacuation Decision Making of Pensacola Florida Residents written by Meganne S. Rockman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past four decades there have been numerous studies on hurricane evacuation. Despite a voluminous collection of literature, few studies have offered insight on whether or not evacuees make evacuation plans based on hurricane characteristics; specifically storm intensity, forward speed, and forecast track direction. In this research, residents of Pensacola, Florida and surrounding areas were surveyed and interviewed to understand the decision-making of residents that occupy a hurricane prone area. A survey was created to analyze variables that influence the decisions to stay or evacuate in the event of a hurricane making landfall. Participants were shown five different hypothetical hurricane warning graphic scenarios varying in speed and intensity. Respondents were asked if they chose to evacuate, their evacuation location, and to highlight the route they would travel to get to their destination for each scenario. No specific variables impeded evacuation. Pensacola residents evacuate in response to forecast tropical cyclone path and, to a lesser extent, intensity, and this influences their evacuation route. With this information, public officials may have a better understanding of how people perceive the threat of an incoming hurricane and inform evacuees of safe, efficient routes and destinations for the public to take in the event of an approaching storm.
Download or read book Evacuation Decision Making and the Role of Social Connections Across Evacuation Statuses During Hurricane Irma written by Nathan D. Shull and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to examine the evacuation decision-making process during Hurricane Irma in 2017. Special consideration was given to the role of an individual’s social connections (SCs). Additionally, the dependability, density (i.e., social network size and number of connections), and diversity of SCs were compared between those who: (a) evacuated to a shelter in Pinellas County, (b) evacuated to somewhere outside of the Tampa Bay area, and (c) did not evacuate. Data for evacuees and non-evacuees from Collins et al. (2018) were used to perform this comparison, while the data for shelter evacuees were acquired via a mailed survey. To provide a more complete understanding of decision-making factors, sources of hurricane information and population demographics were considered and compared between the shelter evacuee, evacuee, and non-evacuee groups. Finally, this study evaluated how the COVID-19 pandemic might influence future evacuation decision making among shelter evacuees. By way of statistical analyses, the results showed that shelter evacuees had the lowest scores for all measures of SCs when compared to evacuees and non-evacuees, with nearly all pairwise comparisons exhibiting statistically significant differences. Individuals with higher education levels and greater income perceived greater functionality among their SCs. For information sources, evacuees relied more on friends, family, and social networking than shelter evacuees and non-evacuees, supporting the idea that those who rely on their social networks are more likely to evacuate. COVID-19 did have a significant effect on future decisions for shelter evacuees, as they were less likely to evacuate to a shelter after COVID-19. These results contribute to disaster evacuation studies and inform emergency management operations, which are vital while simultaneously managing two disasters.
Download or read book Large Scale Evacuation written by Michael K. Lindell and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large-Scale Evacuation introduces the reader to the steps involved in evacuation modelling for towns and cities, from understanding the hazards that can require large-scale evacuations, through understanding how local officials decide to issue evacuation advisories and households decide whether to comply, to transportation simulation and traffic management strategies. The author team has been recognized internationally for their research and consulting experience in the field of evacuations. Collectively, they have 125 years of experience in evacuation, including more than 140 projects for federal and state agencies. The text explains how to model evacuations that use the road transportation network by combining perspectives from social scientists and transportation engineers, fields that have commonly approached evacuation modelling from distinctly different perspectives. In doing so, it offers a step-by-step guide through the key questions needed to model an evacuation and its impacts to the evacuation route system as well as evacuation management strategies for influencing demand and expanding capacity. The authors also demonstrate how to simulate the resulting traffic and evacuation management strategies that can be used to facilitate evacuee movement and reduce unnecessary demand. Case studies, which identify key points to analyze in an evacuation plan, discuss evacuation termination and re-entry, and highlight challenges that someone developing an evacuation plan or model should expect, are also included. This textbook will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and advanced students.
