Using responses to an Internet-based survey from a random sample of over 1,000 individuals, the authors estimate a number of probit and multinomial probit models to identify factors associated with the likelihood of having a hurricane evacuation plan, potential usage of public transportation to evacuate, and the primary evacuation destination.

Findings also indicate that most respondents would evacuate in their own vehicle to the home of a friend or a relative. About 19% would evacuate to a hotel, and less than 11% would go to a public shelter. Less than 5% of the respondents would use public transportation to evacuate.
