The Vulnerability Paradox Although considerable research attention has examined components of biophysical vulnerability and the vulnerability of the built environment (Mileti, 1999), we currently know the least about the social aspects of vulnerability.
There are a host of other determinants of evacuation behavior from pending severe weather, including socio-demographic factors (age, income, education, age, etc.), prior experience, ethnicity, and information and warnings about pending severe weather events (Sorenson 2000; Mileti and O'Brien 1992 ...

Both Mileti and Darlington (1997) and Nguyen and colleagues (2006) found race/ethnicity unrelated to taking preparedness actions. Similarly, Russell, Goltz and Bourque (1995) found few relationships between race/ethnicity and earthquake preparedness.
Previous research notes that warnings are geared toward the cultural majority and are less likely to reach those who are most vulnerable - the poor, the elderly, and cultural minorities (Burton et al. 1978, Mileti 1999; Perry and Mushkatel, 1986; Lindell and Perry, 2004, Hayden et al. 2007).

Increasingly the emphasis has shifted to mitigation, or preventative actions taken before an earthquake to reduce loss (see, e.g., Mileti, 1999).
