飓风多发地区的家庭以多种方式应对飓风威胁。人们认为，对风险和其他因素的看法会影响个人采取飓风防护行动的决定。本研究调查了佛罗里达州迈阿密戴德县居民样本的看法、行为意图和实际保护行动。我们使用通过电话调查收集的独特数据来调查一系列因素，包括风险感知、当地政府对飓风的准备情况、过去的飓风经历、危险信息暴露和人口统计数据，这些因素被认为会影响感知的飓风准备情况、飓风威胁下的疏散意愿以及实际的飓风准备情况。分析结果表明，风险感知与感知准备、疏散意图以及实际准备措施之一呈正相关。当地政府对飓风的准备程度的感知也与感知的准备情况和实际的保护措施呈正相关。其他因素（包括社会人口统计）的结果因因变量而异。在报告结果之后，我们讨论我们的研究结果的研究和政策影响。
Households in hurricane-prone regions respond to hurricane threat in numerous ways. Perceptions about their risk and other factors are thought to influence individuals' decisions to take protective actions for hurricanes. This research investigates the perceptions, behavioral intentions, and actual protective actions of a sample of residents in Miami-Dade County, Florida. We use unique data collected via a telephone survey to investigate a set of factors including risk perception, perceived local government readiness for a hurricane, past hurricane experience, hazard information exposure, and demographics, which have been posited to influence perceived hurricane preparedness, intent to evacuate under hurricane threat, and actual hurricane preparedness. The analytic results show that risk perception was positively associated with perceived preparedness, intent to evacuate, and one of the actual preparedness measures. Perceived local government readiness for a hurricane also was positively related to perceived preparedness and an actual protective measure. The results for other factors, including socio-demographics, varied by dependent variable. Following a report of the results, we discuss the research and policy implications of our findings.
