Redrawing Risks
The National Weather Service and other weather industry partners increasingly use Hurricane Threats and Impacts (HTI) graphics to communicate the breadth of hazards and impacts associated with tropical cyclones. However, HTI graphics are often poorly designed and difficult to access, inhibiting their wider use during high-impact tropical cyclone events. In this study, we evaluated HTI graphics with broadcast meteorologists and emergency managers …
Information Dissemination, Diffusion, and Response during Hurricane Harvey
This article aims to build interdisciplinary understanding about modern hazard communication by investigating visual information dissemination, diffusion, and response leading up to and during a weather-related disaster. The study analyzes data from online social media posts by authoritative sources during Hurricane Harvey, focusing on forecast and warning tweets containing hurricane risk imagery. The research integrates quantitative and qualitat…
Contextualizing Disaster Phases Using Social Media Data
Common disaster-phase models provide a useful heuristic for understanding how disasters evolve, but they do not adequately characterize the transitions between phases, such as the forecast and warning phase of predictable disasters. In this study, we use tweets posted by professional sources of meteorological information in Florida during Hurricane Irma (2017) to understand how visual risk communication evolves during this transition. We identify…
Getting the Word Out, Rain or Shine
Networked social media provide governmental organizations, such as the National Weather Service (NWS), the opportunity to communicate directly with stakeholders over long periods of time as a form of online engagement. Typologies of engagement include aspects of message content that provide information, contribute to community building, and inspire action and aspects of message microstructural features that facilitate interaction and dialogue, su…
