520 _aWhen disaster strikes and people are away from home, how do they respond? Based on interviews with 827 transients, lodging firm executives, and community officials following five major disasters, this article provides answers to three questions: (1) how did the modal evacuation patterns among these transients differ from those documented for residential populations?' (2) what were the major pattern differences among four types of transients (i.e., tourists, business travelers, migrant workers and homeless persons)?; and (3) what key policy issues were perceived by this transient population as the most important matters to which lodging firm executives and local government officials should seek solutions? - Reproduced
