TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Household hurricane evacuation during a dual-threat event: Hurricane Laura and COVID-19 JO - Transportation research part D: transport and environment A1 - Greer, Alex A1 - Huntsman, David A1 - Wu, Hao-Che A1 - Murphy, Haley A1 - Clay, Lauren SP - e103820 EP - e103820 VL - 121 IS - N2 - This study explores household-level evacuation decision-making in response to Hurricane Laura, in a context where hurricane risk reduction measures contradicted COVID-19 risk reduction measures. Data were collected using a mail-based survey approach from households along the coast of Texas and Louisiana to explore drivers of and barriers to evacuation, including COVID-19 measures such as negative affect, risk perceptions, protective actions, and exposure. Testing for direct and indirect effects among the drivers of and barriers to evacuation, we find that many of our COVID-19 measures did not have a direct effect on evacuation but did have indirect effects through other factors. We also found evidence of both direct and indirect relationships with regards to more conventional drivers of evacuation found in the literature. We close with a discussion of the limitations and implications of this study.
