Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Tornado Fatalities in the United States: 1880–2005
Abstract A dataset of killer tornadoes is compiled and analyzed spatially in order to assess region-specific vulnerabilities in the United States from 1880 to 2005. Results reveal that most tornado…
Vehicle-occupant deaths caused by tornadoes in the United States, 1900–1998
Abstract Occupants of vehicles encounter an uncertain degree of risk during tornadic storms. The current National Weather Service guidelines suggest we abandon vehicles to lie in a ditch if no sturdy…
Rethinking warning compliance and complacency by examining how people manage risk and vulnerability during real-world tornado threats
The weather community has a keen interest in whether or not people comply with tornado warnings by taking shelter when a tornado threatens. When people do not seek shelter, a commonly attributed…
Self-help and mutual assistance in the aftermath of a tsunami: How individual factors contribute to resolving difficulties
TLDR
These findings are the first to demonstrate the involvement of different individual, particularly personality, factors in survival in the complex social dynamics of this disaster stage and may contribute to disaster risk mitigation, allowing sophisticated risk evaluation and community resilience building.
Natural Disaster
This paper assesses the impact of the destructive 1953 Flint tornado upon the people currently living in the community that was destroyed. Personal interviews conducted with people now residing along…
Regional Differences in the Human Toll from Tornadoes: A New Look at an Old Idea
Previously published claims of large regional (northern vs southern states) differences in risks of fatality associated with tornadoes in the United States are reexamined. This new study extends…
Geographic Distributions of Extreme Weather Risk Perceptions in the United States
TLDR
A methodology that uses multilevel regression and poststratification to estimate extreme weather and climate risk perceptions by geographic area is proposed, using data from three national surveys to measure, map, and compare perceptions of risk from multiple weather hazards in geographic areas across the country.
Emotion provides feedback about thinking styles to influence natural hazard likelihood and perceived response preparedness
