Despite the non-trivial number of (non-institutionalized) residents with special needs referred to as the medically fragile population in this paper - there is virtually no research available to guide the hurricane evacuation planning for this population group. One area is their evacuation time choice behavior that can have tremendous implications for their safety as well as the logistics of the evacuation process. In this paper, we fundamentally advance our understanding of the evacuation timing behavior of this heavily understudied, and potentially vulnerable, population group. Analysis indicates that key differences exist between the medically fragile and non-medically fragile population. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
