The Protective Action Decision Model: Theoretical Modifications and Additional Evidence
TLDR
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.Abstract:
The Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) is a multistage model that is based on findings from research on people's responses to environmental hazards and disasters. The PADM integrates the processing of information derived from social and environmental cues with messages that social sources transmit through communication channels to those at risk. The PADM identifies three critical predecision processes (reception, attention, and comprehension of warnings or exposure, attention, and interpretation of environmental/social cues)--that precede all further processing. The revised model identifies three core perceptions--threat perceptions, protective action perceptions, and stakeholder perceptions--that form the basis for decisions about how to respond to an imminent or long-term threat. The outcome of the protective action decision-making process, together with situational facilitators and impediments, produces a behavioral response. In addition to describing the revised model and the research on which it is based, this article describes three applications (development of risk communication programs, evacuation modeling, and adoption of long-term hazard adjustments) and identifies some of the research needed to address unresolved issues.read more

The Risk Perception Paradox—Implications for Governance and Communication of Natural Hazards
TL;DR: A risk perception paradox exists in that it is assumed that high risk perception will lead to personal preparedness and, in the next step, to risk mitigation behavior, but this is not necessarily true, and three explanations are offered suggesting why this paradox might occur.

Evacuation transportation modeling: An overview of research, development, and practice
TL;DR: This paper presents a review of highway-based evacuation modeling and simulation and its evolution over the past decade, including the current state of modeling in the forecasting of evacuation travel demand, distribution and assignment of evacuation demand to regional road networks to reach destinations.

Meta-analyses of factors motivating climate change adaptation behaviour
TL;DR: Meta-analyses with data from 106 studies show that descriptive norms, negative affect, perceived self-efficacy and outcome efficacy are most strongly associated with climate change adaptation, whereas knowledge and experience are only weakly associated with adaptive behaviour.

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.

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.
