N2  - This paper compares known research and emergency management practice, and demonstrates that need and success of applying research to dispel common misconceptions about disaster-related behavior. I draw upon the experience of Fort Worth-Tarrant County Emergency Management practitioners to compare to research findings. Specifically, I discuss reactions to warnings, evacuation behavior, and the use of shelters. Also, I incorporate my experience in planning for the disabled in emergencies to further illustrate my points.<p />
