Pedestrian evacuation times for employees on the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i, for standard and extreme tsunami evacuation zones by community, modeled at three travel speeds (impaired, slow, and fast walk)

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 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.
