Question

If a hurricane was headed your way, would you evacuate? the headline of a press release states, "thirty-five percent of people on high-risk coast will refuse evacuation order, survey of hurricane preparedness finds." this headline was based on a survey of 4629 adults who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states. in selecting the sample, care was taken to ensure that the sample would be representative of the population of coastal residents in these states

Answer 1

With the given information and the possible impacts of a Hurricane, I would evacuate.

It is not just about the probability of a Hurricane having an impact on my house or property.

Hurricanes can be very damaging and cause billions of dollars of infrastructure damages and hundreds of lost lives.

I would keep a key eye on the force and category of the Hurricane and if its more than 3, I would make preparations to evacuate.
