“…Our study results are similar to the findings of other scholars that show that demographic variables have weak and inconsistent correlations with risk perception and protective responses (Baker 1991;Lindell and Perry 2000;Steinberg et al 2004;Lindell et al 2015). For example, our results regarding gender are inconsistent with prior research, which found that women perceived disaster events or threats as more severe and risky than men (Bateman and Edwards 2002).…”

“…Indeed, only a few studies have attempted to address this issue. In a counter-factual study, Steinberg et al (2004) examined emergency preparedness and earthquake hazard mitigation for the potential impact of an earthquake-induced hazardous materials release from an oil refinery in a southern California community based on a random telephone survey. The authors also investigated residents' risk perception to Natech hazard events.…”

“…Previous research has found that most individuals are unprepared for hazards that may affect their communities (Mileti, ; Steinberg et al, ). That said, individual adjustment activity levels differ for a number of reasons, including, cultural or sociodemographic differences, notably income and minority status (Palm & Carroll, ), For example, previous research has found that people with higher income are often more prepared than people with lower‐income (Lindell & Perry, ; Lindell, Arlikatti, & Prater, ; Prater & Lindell, ), and minorities generally have lower levels of preparedness (Drabek, ; Lindell & Perry, ; Lindell et al, ).…”

“…Over the last thirty years the greatest number of studies have examined what motivates preparedness and mitigation for earthquakes, particularly in California . But research has also examined what increases preparedness and mitigation for a variety of different natural, technological and human-made hazards including floods (Grothmann & Reusswig, 2006;Lin, Shaw & Ho, 2008;Mishra & Suar, 2007;Terpstra, 2011), hurricanes (Basolo, Steinberg, Burby, Levine, Cruz & Huang, 2009;Kim & Kang, 2010), wildfires (Martin, Bender & Raish, 2007), landslides (Lin et al, 2008), volcanoes (Kim & Kang, 2010), heat (Mishra & Suar, 2007), toxic chemical releases (Lindell & Hwang, 2008), technological disasters (Steinberg, Basolo, Burby, Levine & Cruz, 2004), terrorism (Bourque, Mileti, Kano & Wood, in press, a;Bourque, Regan, Kelley, Wood, Kano & Mileti, in press, b;Eisenman, Glik, Ong, Zhou, Tseng, Long, Fielding & Asch, 2009;Eisenman, Wold, Fielding, Long, Setodji, Hickey & Gelberg, 2006;Kano, Wood, Bourque & Mileti, in press;Lee & Lemyre, 2009;Torabi & Seo, 2004; in press), and more. Overall, the amount of preparedness and mitigation reported has been modest and has focused on activities that seem easier and less costly to do (Lindell & Prater, 2000;Nguyen, Shen, Ershoff, Afifi & Bourque, 2006).…”
