Moving Towards Transilience
Flood early warning systems (FEWS) are established globally to support communities in building resilience to flooding and in preparing for and responding to disasters. However, amid climatic and technological change, it is unclear how FEWS might evolve to remain effective. We review resilience as the capacity to “bounce back” and introduce transilience as the capacity to “bounce forward” in the context of disaster risk reduction. We argue that FE…
Expanding Efforts to Understand, Connect with, and Educate Flood-Prone Communities about Flood Forecasts
Though flood forecasting has improved over the past decades, flooding impacts are still significant for many flood-prone areas. Challenges in communicating risk relate to dissemination and understanding of the flood forecast information. While the National Weather Service (NWS) is a trusted source of this information, the range of cultural and social dynamics, economic resources, and communication capacities communities have can affect the value …
Public warning and evacuation experiences during recent GLOF events (2019 and 2023) and recommendations for future preparedness
Early warning systems (EWS) are essential for reducing loss of life during the event of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). However, the efficacy of EWS is contingent on factors including warning dissemination and community response. Despite the crucial role of EWS, there remains a paucity of studies examining community experiences with GLOF EWS, which are imperative for improving existing systems. Using surveys, key informant interviews and fo…
Introducing the Flooding and Society Survey Dataset
Data inform weather prediction as well as decision-making, and knowing how people use forecast information for different hazards is immensely valuable. While some data on public reception, comprehension, and response exist in the form of repeated cross-sectional surveys related to severe, tropical, and winter weather events, no large-scale data collection effort has thus far focused specifically on flooding. The 2024 Flooding and Society Survey i…
Adapting Visual Thinking Strategies as a Tool for Evaluating the Impact of a Work of Public Art
This article presents the development and application of an approach for evaluating audience response to and meaning-making from large-scale public murals, created as part of an art-science-community engagement project. The project adapted Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) facilitation, a common technique in visual arts education, with a focus group style interview to investigate if the murals generated the intended meaning-making among members of…
What Impact? Communicating Severity Forecast Information through the Winter Storm Severity Index
Communicating the threat of severe winter weather is not simply a matter of the number of inches of snow or degrees of cold; it also considers the potential impacts of the storm. The winter storm severity index (WSSI) is a graphical product from the National Weather Service that presents anticipated impacts from forecast winter weather for a range of winter conditions. To assess the utility of the WSSI and how an impact-based winter weather forec…

Motivating Action under Uncertain Conditions
Coastal flood risk communication is most effective at motivating action when the medium and timing of delivery provide understandable information with clear directives when residents need it most. The U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) has many useful coastal flood forecast tools and products, but how and when this information is delivered are of critical importance. To assess how coastal residents understand and interpret NWS coastal flood prod…

Los salasacas son uno de varios grupos indigenas de la sierra ecuatoriana, que se consideran y son considerados un grupo distinto de sangre homogenea. En este articulo trazamos la etnogenesis salasaca a traves de los periodos de dominacion incaica, espanola y nacional, como un pueblo con diversos origenes que se gestaron en una comunidad etnica unificada. Para ello, utilizando una metodologia interdisciplinaria que combina datos historicos y etno…
