Abstract
Abstract This paper focuses upon one aspect of the problem of insuring citizen cooperation with emergency planning. Specific attention is given to encouraging a particular type of protective response: namely, evacuation of a threatened area prior to disaster impact. A review of studies of evacuation warning response is conducted and the results are brought to bear upon the problem of designing incentives to evacuate into community emergency plans. It is argued that effective emergency planning must be built around people's known behavior or reaction patterns. In this fashion, one can enhance the utility of emergency plans by increasing the probability of citizen compliance.
