What type of sampling is used?

  1. Stratified sampling is used, since the disaster area is divided into grids, and a random sample is taken from each grid.
  2. Cluster sampling is used, since the disaster area is divided into grids, and a random sample is taken from each grid.
  3. Cluster sampling is used, since the disaster area is divided into grids, and some of those grids are selected and everyone in those grids are interviewed.
