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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Households' perceived personal risk and responses in a multihazard environment.
TL;DR: This study proposed and tested a multistage model of household response to three hazards-flood, hurricane, and toxic chemical release-in Harris County Texas and suggested that four demographic variables-gender, age, income, and ethnicity-affect the basic causal chain at different points.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perception and communication of flood risks: a systematic review of empirical research.
TL;DR: This review comprises 57 empirically based peer-reviewed articles on flood risk perception and communication from the Web of Science and Scopus databases and concludes with a summary on methodological issues in the fields of flood-risk perception and flood- risk communication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotions, trust, and perceived risk: affective and cognitive routes to flood preparedness behavior.
TL;DR: The results indicate that both cognitive and affective mechanisms influence citizens' preparedness intentions, and that levels of dread were especially influenced by citizens' negative and positive emotions related to their previous flood hazard experiences.

Who Leaves and Who Stays? A Review and Statistical Meta-Analysis of Hurricane Evacuation Studies:
TL;DR: This paper examined 38 studies involving actual responses to hurricane warnings and 11 studies involving expected responses to hypothetical hurricane scenarios conducted since 1991 and found that official warnings, mobile home residence, risk area residence, observations of environmental (storm conditions) and social (other people's behavior) cues, and expectations of severe personal impacts, all have consistently significant effects on household evacuation.

Measuring Resilience Potential: An Adaptive Strategy for Organizational Crisis Planning
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a new paradigm in disaster planning, one that focuses on creating organizational structures and processes that build organizational resilience potential, and develop a scale to measure latent resilience in organizations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social vulnerability and the natural and built environment: a model of flood casualties in Texas.
TL;DR: This research void is addressed by analysing 832 countywide flood events in Texas from 1997-2001 to examine whether geographic localities characterised by high percentages of socially vulnerable populations experience significantly more casualties due to flood events, adjusting for characteristics of the natural and built environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Citizens’ Perceptions of Flood Hazard Adjustments: An Application of the Protective Action Decision Model
Teun Terpstra,Michael K. Lindell +1 more
TL;DR: This paper applied the PADM model to explain flood preparedness intentions in the Netherlands and found that hazard-related attributes (e.g., perceived efficacy in protecting persons) were positively correlated, but failed to show that resource related attributes such as perceived costs were negatively correlated with preparedness intention.
