Summary
This dataset contains O'ahu employee count estimates as a function of travel time out of the standard and extreme tsunami-evacuation zones for three different travel speeds (impaired, slow, and fast walk). The data are organized in a manner which permits summarizing or visualizing the data by business classification (community support, dependent-care, emergency service, infrastructure, public venue, and remaining businesses), at-risk population-serving facility type (adult assistance services, child services, correctional facilities, medical and health services, medical center, and schools), tsunami-evacuation zone, and/or travel speed, with business details and evacuation zone/travel speed combinations listed across the top as columns [...]

The data are organized in a manner which permits summarizing or visualizing the data by business classification (community support, dependent-care, emergency service, infrastructure, public venue, and remaining businesses), at-risk population-serving facility type (adult assistance services, child services, correctional facilities, medical and health services, medical center, and schools), tsunami-evacuation zone, and/or travel speed, with business details and evacuation zone/travel speed combinations listed across the top as columns and individual rows representing unique businesses' details and the number of employees working for a specific business in the different evacuation zone/travel speed combinations. This dataset is intended for use in the U.S. Geological Survey's O'ahu, HI tsunami evacuation web page (https://geography.wr.usgs.gov/science/vulnerability/oahuEvacDashboard.html).
These data support the following publication: Wood, N.J., Jones, J.L., Peters, J., and Richards, K., 2018, Pedestrian-evacuation modeling to reduce vehicle use for distant tsunami evacuations in Hawai'i: International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, v. 28, p. 271-283, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijdrr.2018.03.009.

Purpose
The communities of O'ahu, HI are threatened by distant tsunamis from earthquake sources from around the Pacific Ocean basin. Tabulated population counts as a function of travel time out of tsunami-evacuation zones can be used by emergency managers and community planners to identify where to focus evacuation training and hazard education.
