This chapter explores the outcomes of mandatory and nonmandatory evacuation related to no‐notice and limited notice disasters in nonurban settings to increase understanding of evacuation policy and planning. Further, it explores many factors that influence the decision to evacuate from both the perspective of local governmental bodies and individuals, as well as evacuation preparedness and response with an understanding of disasters and their consequences. Two examples—bushfires (in 2009) in Victoria, Australia, and a nuclear accident (in 2011) in Fukushima, Japan—underscore the importance of resilient and redundant methods of communication and consistent messaging, as communication is often the first system to break down in the chaos of an extreme event. Findings suggest that local leaders are best positioned and have the responsibility to manage disaster preparedness, response, and recovery—especially drafting evacuation plans and preparing citizens for disaster safety.
