Los Angeles wildfires: Survey of disaster survivors reveals why some stay~Shari Roan
~The recent wildfires in Los Angeles and ensuing evacuation orders raise the touchy question of why some people refuse to leave their homes and risk their lives. Do they have a death wish? Long for a little excitement? Were they unable to leave?
A study of Hurricane Katrina survivors, published this summer in the journal Psychological Science, found that none of those assumptions fit. Instead, the people who defied evacuation orders -- many of whom had limited financial resources -- did not feel powerless or passive but instead saw themselves as connected to their neighbors and dependent on each other.
They also expressed their faith in God and strong feelings about caring for others.
