Survey to Study Weather Evacuation Plans during COVID-19

Jennifer Collins has created a survey to study how people perceive hurricane evacuation orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey results will help inform how evacuation language is developed to ensure people’s needs regarding weather shelters are being met.

“I think it’s really important ever since 2020 being the first year where we have a global pandemic, which has really increased the complexity of planning for hurricanes because you’ve got social distancing that we should be considering with COVID-19 and that’s in direct conflict with human congregation that might happen in a shelter,” said Collins.
