IDENTIFYING TRENDS IN RESPONSES TO HURRICANE AND CLIMATE CHANGE COMMUNICATION TOOLS. (2023). Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 37, management.107. https://doi.org/10.9753/icce.v37.management.107
Resumen
The southeastern United States has been identified as a region with high physical and social vulnerability to climate change and coastal hazards such as hurricanes and floods (Emrich and Cutter, 2011). The effects of these hazards are only expected to increase over time under climate change, so it is vital that the risk information is adequately communicated to the public so that they can make effective, informed decisions to mitigate these risks (Shao et al. 2017). In finding those aspects of information such as warning messages and graphics that the public responds most to, those methods can be utilized when communicating vital information to vulnerable coastal populations in the future. Three surveys were distributed to members of the public in Mobile, Alabama, Savannah, Georgia, and Houston, Texas in the summer of 2021. These surveys focused on hurricane risk perceptions and behaviors, with each survey including an experimental section regarding a topic unique to each survey.Referencias
