  • Systemic Vulnerabilities in Hispanic and Latinx Immigrant Communities Led to the Reliance on an Informal Warning System in the December 10–11, 2021, Tornado Outbreak

    Joseph E Trujillo-Falcón, América R Gaviria Pabón et al.ARTICLENatural Hazards Review2024

    On December 10–11, 2021, the deadliest December tornado outbreak on record produced a family of EF4 tornadoes that severely impacted communities in Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee. Although the National Weather Service anticipated the outbreak three days earlier, not all communities received life-saving information before, during, or after the disaster. To examine systemic vulnerabilities experienced by Hispanic and Latinx immigrant p…

  • The Creation of a Research Television Studio to Test Probabilistic Hazard Information with Broadcast Meteorologists in Noaa’s Hazardous Weather Testbed

    Open AccessHolly B Obermeier, Kodi L Berry et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2022

    Broadcast meteorologists play an essential role in communicating severe weather information from the National Weather Service to the public. Because of their importance, researchers incorporated broadcast meteorologists in the development of probabilistic hazard information (PHI) in NOAA’s Hazardous Weather Testbed. As part of Forecasting a Continuum of Environmental Threats (FACETs), PHI is meant to bring additional context to severe weather war…

  • Creating a Communication Framework for Facets

    Open AccessJoseph E Trujillo-Falcón, Justin Reedy et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2022

    Scientists at NOAA are testing a new tool that allows forecasters to communicate estimated probabilities of severe hazards (tornadoes, severe wind, and hail) as part of the Forecasting a Continuum of Environmental Threats (FACETs) framework. In this study, we employ the embedded systems theory (EST)—a communication framework that analyzes small group workplace practices as products of group, organizational, and local dynamics—to understand how pr…

  • Tornado Climatology and Risk Perception in Central Oklahoma

    Victoria A Johnson, Kimberly E Klockow-Mcclain et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2021

    Residents of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area are frequently threatened by tornadoes. Previous research indicates that perceptions of tornado threat affect behavioral choices when severe weather threatens, and as such are important to study. In this paper, we examine the potential influence of tornado climatology on risk perception. Residents across central Oklahoma were surveyed about their perceptions of tornado proneness for their home loca…

  • Cartographic Design for Improved Decision Making

    Kimberly E Klockow-Mcclain, R A Mcpherson et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2020Referencias: 44

    At present, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is developing new technologies that could offer explicit estimates of the probability that a thunderstorm could produce a tornado up to an hour ahead of the event. Such technologies could radically alter how risk spaces are represented and understood by those who must decide whether or not to take protective action. In addition, there are relatively few studies that examine mapped re…
