Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and severity owing to climate change. Individual-level behavioural responses—notably, disaster preparedness and community helping actions (such as donating and volunteering)—supplement government efforts to respond to such phenomena, but rarely have they been explored together. Using data from a survey administered soon after the 2020 Oregon wildfires, this paper compares a range of socio-demographic, experiential, attitudinal, and communication-related factors associated with these two individual-level behavioural responses. Findings indicate that respondents who reported experiencing a higher degree of harm and heightened concern about climate change after the wildfires were more likely to report disaster preparedness and community helping actions. Those who reported more frequent informal discussions about the wildfires, consulting more sources to seek information on them, and higher percentages of friends, neighbours, and community members taking actions to prepare for future wildfires also reported more disaster preparedness and community helping actions. Disaster preparedness actions were also positively associated with seeking information from formal/official sources.

2020 年俄勒冈州野火后的备灾和社区帮助行为

由于气候变化，极端天气事件的频率和严重程度不断增加。个人层面的行为反应——尤其是备灾和社区帮助行动（例如捐赠和志愿服务）——补充了政府应对此类现象的努力，但很少将它们一起探讨。本文利用 2020 年俄勒冈州野火后不久进行的一项调查数据，比较了与这两种个人层面的行为反应相关的一系列社会人口、经验、态度和沟通相关因素。调查结果表明，那些报告在野火后遭受较高程度伤害并高度关注气候变化的受访者更有可能报告备灾和社区帮助行动。那些报告说关于野火的非正式讨论更频繁，咨询更多来源以寻求有关野火的信息，以及采取行动为未来野火做准备的朋友、邻居和社区成员的比例更高的人也报告了更多的备灾和社区帮助行动。备灾行动也与从正式/官方来源寻求信息呈正相关。
