“…For household characteristics, income and loss both have a significant negative relationship to household relocation willingness, consistent with Bateman and Edwards' (2002) study, but inconsistent with other studies (Whitehead et al 2000;Huang et al 2012;Stein et al 2013;Lazo et al 2015). Social support has a positive significant relationship to household relocation willingness, consistent with Tierney's (2013) study, but inconsistent with Riad et al's (1999) study. In our study, distance to hazard, household size, children, older people, Lim et al 2016).…”

“…Social networks not only relate to information about a disaster, but are also related to the sharing of resources and enhancing the ability of groups to resist external risk (Xu et al 2015a, b;Xu et al 2017). Tierney (2013) showed that people look to others for help with the evacuation decisionmaking process. Households with stronger perceived social support were far more likely to evacuate than those with weaker perceived social support, but network size did not predict evacuation (Riad et al 1999).…”

Influences of Sense of Place on Farming Households’ Relocation Willingness in Areas Threatened by Geological Disasters: Evidence from China

Scholars from environmental psychology, geography, disaster science, and sociology have recently focused attention on evacuation and relocation behaviors and influencing factors in hazard-threatened areas. However, existing studies are mainly focused on developed countries and the influence of individual characteristics, household characteristics, and the perception of risk of urban households on evacuation and relocation behaviors. Few studies examine developing countries and the influence of farmers' sense of place in geological hazardthreatened areas. Using statistics of farming households in an area threatened by landslides, this is a pilot study to explore the relationship of sense of place to the relocation willingness of farming households while controlling for other variables. The results show that: (1) Households with higher scores of place identity and place dependence are less willing to relocate, whereas place attachment has no significant relationship to household relocation willingness; (2) Risk perception dimensions, including probability, threat, and controllability have a significant relationship to household relocation willingness, while worry and fear of the unknown have no significant relationship; (3) Household characteristics, including income, whether a household has experienced economic loss from landslides, and social support are significantly correlated with household relocation willingness, while gender, age, experience, distance to hazard sites, size of household, children, older people, and housing material are not. The results for information and education are not robust. This study contributes to the current literature by improving the understanding of the relationship of sense of place to the relocation willingness of farming households in villages threatened by geological disasters in rural China.

“…If we hope to advance ongoing debates about whether long‐term mobility mitigates risks or destroys an established community, it is important to determine what factors influence residents’ plans to leave. The understanding of longer‐term mobility plans is particularly important as disaster‐affected residents try to re‐establish a sense of normalcy, often called “ontological security” (Hawkins & Maurer, ) or a “new normal” (Gotham, Blum, & Campanella, ; Tierney, ), a state that Turner () calls “a stage of culture readjustment… in which prolonged analyses are not undertaken, but only the minimal recognition of changed circumstances necessary to deal with the immediately pressing problems” inherent in the post‐disaster milieu (763; see also Dynes, ). Research on Florida's Hurricane Andrew indicates that residential relocation is associated with higher levels of medium‐term stress, isolation and social disruption (Riad & Norris, ), and increased economic hardship (Hori & Schafer, ).…”

Move out or dig in? Risk awareness and mobility plans in disaster‐affected communities

Post‐disaster migration patterns have been thoroughly studied from a demographic standpoint, but affected community residents’ perceptions of ongoing risks and their willingness to remain in an affected community remain under‐researched. Using data generated by 407 surveys and 40 interviews with residents impacted by the 2013 Calgary flood, this study analyses the effects of flood experience on residents’ worry about future floods and their ensuing short‐term and medium‐term mobility plans. The results indicate that home flooding and evacuation orders are both predictive of worry about future floods. In turn, worry about future floods as well as age, homeownership, and place attachment are all predictive of post‐disaster mobility plans. Residents discuss how the flood either strengthened or weakened their place attachment. The paper concludes by discussing the implications for social science research and for public policy that aims to mitigate disaster risk.

“…Last, psychological and behavioral adjustments in individuals are needed in crisis management. Local leaders responding to crises must recognize that households suffer psychological, social, and economic harm, which must be addressed during the response to the crisis (Lindell et al, ; Olonilua & Ibitayo, ; Pearson & Clair, ; Tierney, ). Behavioral and psychological adjustments are needed so that households can contribute meaningfully to the building of more resilient units that can withstand future emergencies (Comfort, Siciliano, & Okada, ; Shimizu, ).…”

The case study uses secondary information to examine the financial crisis that morphed into public health emergency in Flint, Michigan. While previous crisis management studies have examined financial crises and public health emergencies, the present study embodies both of them and offers an opportunity to understand how multi‐level governments cooperate in responding to multiple emergencies. The overarching question of interest is how do local governments cooperate with multi‐level governments to respond to multiple local emergencies? The specific research questions are as follows: (i) What are the causes, consequences, cautions, and coping strategies of the Flint crises; (ii) What are the roles of multi‐level governments in responding to the Flint crises? and (iii) What are the indicators of success and failure in the response by multi‐level governments to the Flint crises? The paper draws on the American federalism and crisis management scholarship for context and finds that crisis management leadership, effective communication, subsidiarity principles as in multi‐level response, and accountability are necessary for effective response efforts that build resilient organizations. The findings corroborate previous studies making the present study generalizable to other emergencies. Local governments can learn from the Flint experience in mitigating the impact of crises.
