管理撤离人员在撤离后重返社区可能是应急管理人员面临的一个重大挑战，特别是在撤离人员在正式解除警报之前返回的情况下。尽管疏散后重新进入疏散地区的频率很高，但对这一过程以及返回者在返回阶段期望和经历的问题的研究却很少。对飓风艾克后撤离人员的调查表明，家庭对重返计划的遵守率很低，只有少数返回者（38%）遵守了官方的重返计划。对重返社会问题的研究表明，少数民族、教育程度较低和收入较低与重返社会问题的程度较高有关，在较小程度上与返回后遇到的问题有关。研究结果还表明，没有一个人口变量与遵守官方重返计划显着相关，只有较高的收入预测以后进入。然而，对重返大气层交通的关注预示着更早的重返大气层，对物理风险的关注与重返大气层计划的遵守有关。这项研究提供了深入了解的问题，促使家庭的重返决定，并可以告知返回战略，考虑到人们对他们的飓风影响的社区的关注创建。
Managing evacuees’ reentry into their communities after an evacuation can be a major challenge for emergency managers, especially in instances when evacuees return before the official all-clear message. Despite the frequency of post-evacuation reentry into evacuated areas, there have been few studies of this process and the issues returnees expect and experience during the return phase. A survey of evacuees after Hurricane Ike indicates that household compliance with reentry plans was low, with only a minority of returnees (38 %) complying with official reentry plans. An examination of reentry concerns shows that minority ethnicity, lower education, and lower income were associated with higher levels of reentry concerns and, to a lesser extent, with problems experienced after returning. Results also indicate that none of the demographic variables correlated significantly with compliance with official reentry plans and only higher income predicted later entry. However, concerns about reentry traffic predicted earlier reentry and concern about physical risk was related to reentry plan compliance. This study provides insight into the concerns that motivate households’ reentry decisions and can inform the creation of return strategies that account for people’s concerns about their hurricane-impacted communities.
