Confidence, knowledge, and compliance with emergency evacuation

Abstract: Hurricane Katrina vividly showed that policy compliance can be a life-or-death matter in times of natural disasters. Although a substantial number of emergency management studies examined the determinants of evacuation compliance, they largely focused on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Research in policy implementation shows that public confidence in government institutions and knowledge about policies implemented are critical factors for securing compliance from target populations.

“…These results indicate the importance of trust, or where the evacuation warning comes from, to the decision-making process. As Kim and Oh (2014) suggest, the integrity of the authorities is important to encourage evacuation compliance. Nevertheless, official warnings should be disseminated through all available sources of media to reach a diverse population with different preferences (Durage et al 2014).…”

“…On the other hand, the more a disaster management organization, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the USA, has established integrity, the higher the probability of people complying to evacuation message from them (Kim and Oh 2014).

If certain parameters are met, an alert can be triggered and related information can be communicated.…”

“…Social cues include situations where ‘neighbors are seen evacuating when evacuation warnings are received’ (Mileti and Sorensen, , p. 5–6). As an extension of the environment, the ‘physical characteristics of residences are also important’ (Kim and Oh, , p. 113). This has salience in Brisbane where many houses are ‘high set’ (that is, they are raised some metres above ground level on concrete, steel, or wooden stumps)—many of the houses in flood‐affected areas are high set as a flood mitigation measure.…”
