Our new paper on the socio-geographic patterns of rescue requests during Hurricane Harvey has been published in Findings

   Our paper on the socio-geographic patterns of rescue requests during Hurricane Harvey has been published in Findings. Below is the abstract:

"We analyze a public dataset of rescue requests for the Houston Metropolitan Area during Hurricane Harvey (2017) from the Red Cross. This dataset contains information including the location, gender, and emergency description in each requester’s report. We reveal the spatial distribution of the rescue requests and its relationship with indicators of the social, physical, and built environment. We show that the rescue request rates are significantly higher in regions with higher percentages of children, male population, population in poverty, or people with limited English, in addition to regions with higher inundation rate or worse traffic condition during Hurricane Harvey. The rescue request rate is found to be statistically uncorrelated with the percentage of flood hazard zone designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)."

They refuse to address your concerns directly. Some abusers keep putting off the conversation, so you never get to share what’s on your mind.

You feel the need to apologize all the time. Gaslighters can never be at fault and make you feel like you have to apologize for everything in the relationship.
