BIO
Hello, my name is Gabriela De Jesus and I am currently a Sophmore at Florida State majoring in Environmental Science. I worked alongside Michael Core and Dr. Minna Jia to study what factors will affect the evacuation rates of people in different counties along the Florida panhandle.

Abstract
Florida counties have different ways of dealing with natural disasters and public health emergencies, weather they enforce evacuation, provide shelters, or provide resources. The way people choose to react to disasters depends a lot on their circumstances and what their county provides for them. This research aims to look at Census data taken in 2020 and look at the correlation between how people act during a natural disaster and their living circumstances.
Keywords: Dual Disasters, evacuation, hurricane
