“…One of the major gaps in prior research is the dearth of studies that examine the count or number of channels used by residents for gathering information for evacuation. Luo et al (2015) focused on the question of counts/number of information sources for decisionmaking, but for the short-fuse hazard of tornados.…”

“…Our study focused on the count and type of channels for information gathering, but did not include types of anticipated protection action. As Luo et al (2015) found, the number of sources for warnings can be important in determining protective action.…”

“…Therefore, evidence suggests that modality type may influence the specific choice for protective action such as evacuation or sheltering. Luo, Cong and Liang () found that the number of warning information sources significantly increased odds of taking protective action for tornado events. Therefore, the number of sources may be critical for reducing loss of life in disasters.…”

This paper reviews literature on information channel type and disasters, and presents results on hurricane evacuation information gathering. Results show that respondents reported they would use television and radio most frequently for gathering information about hurricane evacuation. Minority respondents reported more preference of the use of community or local government as information sources than white respondents, females gathered information from multiple channels more than males, and younger residents gathered information from multiple channels more than older respondents. Implications include areas for future research in how channel utilization occurs during slow onset hazards in predominantly black communities, how age and gender relate to channel preference, and how channel preferences affect length of time to make decisions and engage in protective actions.
