摘要: To date, rural emergency planning efforts have focused more on addressing the needs of rural residents and have not accounted for potential population surge from neighboring urban areas in the event of disaster. In many areas, rural infrastructure and capacities are likely to be stretched thin or possibly overwhelmed. For this study a comprehensive literature review, qualitative, and quantitative analyses were conducted to assess the likelihood of urban evacuation to rural areas and to provide recommendations for rural planning and response. Qualitative analyses were based on key informant interviews with 17 preparedness experts and planners; six were at the national level, five represented urban communities, and six represented rural communities. Urban and rural planners were paired so rural planners represented communities in close proximity to urban planners communities. Quantitative analyses were based on a national survey of 1,505 urban residents to assess their intended actions following a dirty bomb or pandemic influenza scenario, as well as likely travel destinations and distances.
