  • Community Response to Hurricane Threat

    Michael K Lindell, John H Sorensen et al.ARTICLENatural Hazards Review2021

    The data on warning diffusion rates over time are generally sparse and are extremely limited for hurricanes. This is a potential problem for transportation analysts who are trying to compute evacuation time estimates for coastal jurisdictions. The available data indicate that 20%–50% of the households in areas at risk continually monitor local news media as soon as a hurricane is within 72 h of possible landfall in their area. Moreover, this perc…

  • Community Response to Hurricane Threat

    John H Sorensen, Michael K Lindell et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2020

    Hurricane evacuation warnings from local officials are one of the most significant determinants of households’ evacuation departure times. Consequently, it is important to know how long after the National Hurricane Center (NHC) issues a hurricane watch or warning that local officials wait to issue evacuation warnings. The distribution of local evacuation warning issuance delays determined from poststorm assessment data shows a wide range of warni…

  • Hazard Warning Systems

    John H SorensenARTICLENatural Hazards Review2000

    The United States has no comprehensive national warning strategy that covers all hazards in all places. Instead, public warning practices are decentralized across different governments and the private sector. Uneven preparedness to issue warnings exists across local communities; hence, people are unevenly protected from the surprise onset of natural disasters. Without changes in this situation, inequalities will grow larger, and the gains made in…

  • Communication of emergency public warnings

    Dennis S Mileti, John H SorensenREPORT1990

    More than 200 studies of warning systems and warning response were reviewed for this social science perspective and state-of-the-art assessment of communication of emergency public warnings. The major findings are as follows. First, variations in the nature and content of warnings have a large impact on whether or not the public heeds the warning. Relevant factors include the warning source; warning channel; the consistency, credibility, accuracy…

  • Impacts of Hazardous Technology

    William H Key, John H Sorensen et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1988

    This book presents an evaluation of the psycho-social impacts of hazardous technology. Using a multiple research strategy, the authors show the possible effects of restarting the undamaged reactor at Three Mile Island. The book includes background information concerning environmental policy, the accident and restart issues, and forecasted impacts and implications for environmental management. The topic, however, extends well beyond that of TMI an…

  • Disaster Management

    John H Sorensen, Ronald W Perry et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1987

    This book addresses two common problems encountered by emergency services personnel: the design and implementation of evacuation warning systems to ensure citizen compliance with the directives of authorities and the permanent relocation of families threatened by hazards. The authors pay particular attention to the problems of constructing warning messages; to the citizen's interpretation of message content; the techniques of delivering warning m…
