Community Response to Earthquake Threat in Southern California. Part Five: Action Response in the Public

摘要

This volume is part of a study investigating individual and community response to earthquake threat in southern California. The overall objective is to provide a basis for understanding community response to earthquake predictions released to the public. Part 5 presents findings on public action response dealing with the following: (1) views concerning the possibility and appropriateness of the action, including the disposition to collective rather than individual solutions to the problem of earthquake hazard; (2) expectations for government action and evaluations of government accomplishments; and (3) preparatory actions by individuals and households.
