Social Processes in Disaster: Family Evacuation
Abstract
Family responses to disaster warnings were studied through an analysis of interviews conducted with a random sample of 278 families who were suddenly evacuated from their homes prior to a major flood in Denver, Colorado, June 16, 1965. Using a symbolic interactionist perspective, analysis of the data revealed a series of interrelated but qualitatively distinct processes through which warning, confirmation, and evacuation occurred. Evacuation behavior followed four general patterns: 1) evacuation by default, 2) evacuation by invitation, 3) evacuation by compromise, and 4) evacuation by decision.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
