Risk perception and the U-pattern of protective action changes
What captures attention in the risk communication process
Behavioral Response in the Immediate Aftermath of Shaking
This study examines people's response actions in the first 30 min after shaking stopped following earthquakes in Christchurch and Wellington, New Zealand, and Hitachi, Japan. Data collected from 257 respondents in Christchurch, 332 respondents in Hitachi, and 204 respondents in Wellington revealed notable similarities in some response actions immediately after the shaking stopped. In all four events, people were most likely to contact family memb…

In addition, the effects of demographic variables on behavioral ex…

Respondents' physical, household, and social contexts were quite similar, but Hitachi residents r…
Household Evacuation Decision Making in Response to Hurricane Ike
This study focused on household evacuation decisions and departure timing for Hurricane Ike. The data were consistent with an abbreviated form of the Protective-Action Decision Model in which female gender, official warning messages, hurricane experience, coastal location, and environmental and social cues were hypothesized to produce perceived storm characteristics, which in turn, would produce expected personal impacts. Finally, the latter, tog…
