Perhaps the most eye-opening takeaway; evacuation behavior is deeply influenced by socioeconomic status—lower-income groups tend to evacuate for longer periods and seek refuge in nearby areas, highlighting disparities in resilience and recovery.

Just presented at the 1st #CS2Italy our work on how socioeconomic inequalities reflect on the evuation patterns during wildfires
