This study is a replication and extension of a previous study which investigated the relationship between gender, media use, and the perceived adequacy of mediated message associated with Hurricane Katrina. The current replication examines gender, age, media use, and the perceived adequacy of mediated messages after Hurricane Ike. Surveys were collected from evacuated residents of the Houston metropolitan area. Results indicated difference in age for radio use and desire for information from interpersonal sources; difference also emerged for gender and information adequacy and accuracy. These findings are discussed, along with limitations and suggestions for future research.
