Abstract: Advances in the sharing economy – such as transportation network companies (e.g., Lyft, Uber) and home sharing (e.g., Airbnb) – have coincided with the increasing need for evacuation resources. While peer-to-peer sharing under normal circumstances often suffers from trust barriers, disaster literature indicates that trust and compassion often increase following disasters, improving recovery through additional resources and support. We hypothesize that trust and compassion could trigger willingness to share transportation and sheltering resources during an evacuation.
