Preparing for the Extreme Cold
There is limited understanding of the factors that motivate people to take protective action to safeguard water infrastructure during extreme cold weather. Guided by Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and using a survey deployed in a major city in the USA ( N = 343) that is predominately Hispanic (people with origins from Mexico and often Spanish speaking), we found cognitive, demographic, and experiential factors explained 42% of the variance in…
Clear or compliant? The tension between regulatory requirements and public comprehension in boil water advisories
Risk communications should provide clear messages to the public so people can take appropriate actions to protect their health and safety. Boil Water Advisories (BWAs), for instance, help safeguard communities from water quality issues. This study evaluates BWA effectiveness by analyzing 85 advisories from four Texas metropolitan areas, collected from press releases and social media platforms (e.g., Facebook). The evaluation focused on two main a…
Strengthening individual preparedness for extreme cold weather through enhanced messaging, risk perception, and trust
Enhancing power system resilience to extreme weather events
In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri left 11 million people in Texas without power, caused widespread water outages, and inflicted billions of dollars in damage. While the severity of this event was primarily caused by electricity generator failures, it was made worse by the decisions of utilities and state regulators before, during, and after the event. This study seeks to (1) evaluate the procedures and decisions made by electric utilities during…
Community resilience in a cascading disaster
When multiple types of disasters occur sequentially – a cascading disaster – certain adaptive capacities might become temporarily ineffective or invalid. Advancing an understanding of community resilience in the context of cascading disasters, the current study provides empirical evidence of a hybrid hyperlocal community of practice (HCoP), a novel communicative process facilitated by hybrid organizing, during the 2021 Texas, U.S.A. winter storm.…

A quantitative, equitable framework for urban transportation electrification
Disparities in rooftop photovoltaics deployment in the United States by race and ethnicity
Rooftop solar photovoltaic potential in cities
Distributed photovoltaics (PV) have played a critical role in the deployment of solar energy, currently making up roughly half of the global PV installed capacity. However, there remains significant unused economically beneficial potential. Estimates of the total technical potential for rooftop PV systems in the United States calculate a generation comparable to approximately 40% of the 2016 total national electric-sector sales. To best take adva…
La atmósfera psíquica y los vínculos significativos de madres adolescentes gestantes y lactantes de bajo estrato socio-económico. Implicaciones sobre el desarrollo psíquico
En el artículo se presentan los resultados parciales de un proyecto de investigación-intervención que buscó caracterizar la atmósfera psíquica y los vínculos significativos de madres adolescentes gestantes y lactantes, así como analizar sus implicaciones sobre el desarrollo psíquico, tanto de ellas como de sus hijos e hijas. La intervención consistió en un acompañamiento psicoterapéutico grupal de enfoque psicoanalítico, realizado durante 10 a 15…
