Abstract This study aims to identify the factors affecting household evacuation travel behavior when the Taal volcano erupted in January 2020. The data utilized were collected from selected households in Sampaloc, Talisay, Batangas. Correlation analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Evacuation behavior separately analyzed here includes evacuation decision, destination type, and mode choices. Findings show that the destination type choice, household head’s position, and educational attainment influence households’ evacuation decision. While destination type choice is affected by the position of household head, mode of evacuation, evacuation timing, marital status, level of risk perception, and source of information. Additionally, mode choice is affected by the presence of senior citizens, household monthly income, and vehicle ownership. It is also evident that evacuation timing, travel distance, and duration of stay in the evacuation areas affect destination type and mode choices. The findings here provide insights that help plan future evacuations.
