| contents | We consider immigration processes with binomial catastrophes and random survival parameters. Two sources of randomness are analyzed. In the first model, the survival parameter is independently resampled at each catastrophe. In the second model, individuals are assigned independent survival parameters at birth, which remain fixed over time. We show that the first model exhibits almost sure extinction, as in the classical case with a fixed survival parameter. In contrast, the second model exhibits a phase transition, admitting survival with positive probability, depending on the distribution of individual survival parameters. We provide explicit formulas for both the survival probability and the expected time to extinction. Finally, our proofs establish a novel methodological bridge with the Firework process, unifying population dynamics with spatial models of information spreading. |
