This study has five objectives; 1) to describe the sequence of behavior that culminates in evacuation from disaster sites by persons who are away from their residences, for example, tourists, business travelers, migratory workers, or people in the process of relocating; 2) to describe the range of variation among these behavioral sequences for different types of evacuees, events, and locations; 3) to identify factors related to variation in these behavioral sequences; 4) to document perceptions of disaster victims regarding evacuation policies and procedures implemented by private firm executives and government agency representatives; and 5) to formulate relevant policy recommendations for local emergency managers and business executives
