TLDR
Survey data collected from households in Jacksonville, Florida affected by 2016's Hurricane Matthew identifies perceived consistency of information as a key predictor of uncertainty regarding hurricane impact and evacuation logistics and provides practical implications regarding the need of information coordination for improved evacuation decision‐making.Abstract:
Understanding how information use contributes to uncertainties surrounding evacuation decisions is crucial during disasters. While literature increasingly establishes that people consult m...read more

Internet, phone, mail and mixed-mode surveys: the tailored design method: reseña
TL;DR: Dillman and Smyth as mentioned in this paper described the Tailored design method as a "tailored design methodology" and used it in their book "The Tailored Design Method: A Manual for Personalization".

Progression of hurricane evacuation-related dynamic decision-making with information processing
TL;DR: This article used an online survey that provides three kinds of progressively varied information about the current status of a hypothetical hurricane for five days leading to its landfall and collected respondents' certainty of their situational comprehension and evacuation-related decisions each day.

Effects of risk perception and perceived certainty on evacuate/stay decisions
Emmanuel Kofi Adjei,Bailey C. Benedict,Pamela Murray-Tuite,Seungyoon Lee,Satish V. Ukkusuri,Yue Ge +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the effect of perceived certainty about location of impact on both risk perception and evacuation logistics, and found that perceived certainty had a non-significant effect on risk perception.

TL;DR: The most frequent and trusted sources of information that Florida residents use when they learn that a hurricane is coming their way were identified in a focus group with the National Hurricane Center's (NHC) Cone of Uncertainty graphic as mentioned in this paper .

Characteristics of Organizational Environments and Perceived Environmental Uncertainty.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the characteristics of the environment that contribute to decision unit members experiencing uncertainty in decision making and find that individuals in decision units with dynamic-complex environments experience the greatest amount of uncertainty.

Cognitive control in media multitaskers.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that media multitasking, a rapidly growing societal trend, is associated with a distinct approach to fundamental information processing, with heavy media multitaskers more susceptible to interference from irrelevant environmental stimuli and from irrelevant representations in memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Network Theory
TL;DR: This paper analyzes two well-known network theories, Granovetter's strength of weak ties theory and Burt's structural holes theory, to identify characteristic elements of network theorizing and argues that both theories share an underlying theoretical model, which is labelled the network flow model, from which they derive additional implications.

The Protective Action Decision Model: Theoretical Modifications and Additional Evidence
TL;DR: Three applications are described (development of risk communication programs, evacuation modeling, and adoption of long-term hazard adjustments) and some of the research needed to address unresolved issues are identified.
