Research completed in association with this RAPID award examines household and emergency managers’ responses to a 2024 Earthquake and subsequent tsunami, with a specific focus on the under-explored phenomenon of nighttime disaster response. By studying how social and environmental dynamics, past experiences, and the challenges posed by COVID-19 shaped tsunami response, this project generates insights necessary to improve planning efforts for future tsunamis. The knowledge gained through this study provides important information for improving nighttime earthquake and tsunami preparedness, response, and recovery in the United States and worldwide. Specifically, the findings directly inform emergency managers about effective strategies for nighttime disaster responses and preferences regarding shelters, thereby enhancing the resilience of communities facing similar risks.To advance theory, this research project builds on and enhances the Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) by investigating the impact of social and physical environmental contexts on individuals' risk perceptions and decisions regarding tsunami evacuation, utilizing a Structural Equation Modeling approach. Using a convergent mixed methods design employing a combination of surveys and interviews, data collected for this project provides a comprehensive understanding of decision making from both affected households and emergency management professionals. Reliance on validated instruments allows for comparing research findings to existing studies and expanding the PADM to encompass nighttime disaster responses. The incorporation of local partners and a variety of dissemination methods ensures that this project bridges the gap between research insights and practical applications, ultimately fostering safer and more resilient communities facing nighttime hazards.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

研究完成了这次快速奖项检查的家庭和应急管理人员对2024年地震和随后的海啸的反应，特别关注夜间灾难响应的现象不足的现象。通过研究社会和环境动态，过去的经验以及Covid-19形状的海啸反应所带来的挑战，该项目产生了必要的见解，以改善未来海啸的计划工作。通过这项研究获得的知识为改善夜间地震和海啸的准备，反应和恢复提供了重要信息。具体而言，这些发现直接将夜间灾难反应的有效策略告知避难所，从而增强了面临类似风险的社区的韧性。为了促进理论，该研究项目通过研究社会和身体环境环境对tsunami Equitiation的影响来建立并增强了保护性行动决策模型（PADM）。使用调查和访谈结合的收敛混合方法设计，为该项目收集的数据提供了对受影响家庭和紧急管理专业人员的决策的全面理解。依赖经过验证的工具可以将研究结果与现有研究进行比较，并扩大PADM以涵盖夜间灾难反应。当地合作伙伴的保险和各种传播方法确保该项目弥合了研究见解和实际应用之间的差距，最终促进了面临夜间危害的更安全，更具抵抗力的社区。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识优点和广泛的范围来评估，这是NSF的法定任务。
