Improving Our Understanding of Fire Evacuation and Displacement Effects
| 项目名称： | Improving Our Understanding of Fire Evacuation and Displacement Effects |
| 摘要： | Wildfires will continue to have unprecedented effect on California’s economy and infrastructure. The November 2018 Camp Fire, the deadliest and largest fire in California history, killed 86 civilians and burned over 150,000 acres, leveling nearly all the structures in Paradise and Magalia in Butte County, California. The population exodus occurred, in the short term, to escape the disaster, and as the research team has observed in the following weeks and months, to locate available housing or shelter, both temporary and permanent. This movement affects the regional population dynamics; for example, Chico housing rents have dramatically increased in the past few months. Displacement also has implications for land use planning and travel demand modeling as well as infrastructure resilience strategies. This research focuses on short-term displacements effects: tracing dispersal from disaster exodus to shorter-term housing decisions. The team uses data they collected shortly after the Camp Fire, which includes 120 surveys at Red Cross shelters (the team was the only researchers who received permission for interviews at the Red Cross shelters) and over 300 online surveys and interviews from those who found alternative housing during the same time period. The team will examine regional and statewide implications of population shifts, paying particular attention to disadvantaged populations. |
