Factors that influenced preferences regarding use of public and private tornado shelters during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020
This study examines factors shaping individuals' preferences for use of tornado shelters in public and private facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, utilizing over 6000 surveys collected in Spring and Summer 2020 across the central and eastern United States. We employed Random Forest (RF) ensemble modeling to assess respondents' inclination to use storm shelters in group settings, including a scenario where face masks were mandated at public s…
An Agent-Based Modeling Approach to Protective Action Decision-Related Travel during Tornado Warnings
Tornadoes represent a significant threat to life and property and tend to evoke protective action in most people. Studies have suggested that many people travel to the nearest storm shelter or flee the area, rather than sheltering-in-place as recommended by the National Weather Service (NWS). While shelter-in-place is the recommendation of the NWS, for tornado safety, few studies have quantified the risk reduction when compared to traveling to a …
A Spatiotemporal Perspective on the 31 May 2013 Tornado Evacuation in the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area
On 31 May 2013, an extremely large and violent tornado hit near the town of El Reno, Oklahoma, a small town in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. The size and intensity of this tornado, coupled with the fact that it was heading toward Oklahoma City, prompted local broadcasters to warn residents to evacuate their homes and head south if they could not shelter belowground. This warning led to a large-scale evacuation of the metropolitan area and …
Structural Forces
Southeastern U.S. mobile and manufactured housing (MH) residents are the most tornado-vulnerable subset of the population because of both physical and socioeconomic factors. This study builds upon prior MH resident tornado vulnerability research by statistically and geographically analyzing responses from a survey administered to these residents in the Southeast. Specifically, 257 Alabama and Mississippi MH residents were administered a survey wi…
Meteorologists’ Interpretations of Storm-Scale Ensemble-Based Forecast Guidance
During the 2017 Spring Forecasting Experiment in NOAA’s Hazardous Weather Testbed, 62 meteorologists completed a survey designed to test their understanding of forecast uncertainty. Survey questions were based on probabilistic forecast guidance provided by the NSSL Experimental Warn-on-Forecast System for ensembles (NEWS-e). A mix of 20 multiple-choice and open-ended questions required participants to explain basic probability and percentile conc…
