Offering an Evidence-Based Recommendation for Improving the Storm Prediction Center’s Categorical Outlook
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) messages severe thunderstorm hazard likelihood using the categorical outlook, which labels increasing risk through the words “Marginal”, “Slight”, “Enhanced”, “Moderate”, and “High”. Researchers have identified that broadcasters, emergency managers, and members of the public find this word scale is not intuitively ordered and that the five risk words communicate risk inconsistently from person to person. To offer…
Cumulative risk communication
Findings reveal a disconnect between practitioner assumptions and public responses to cumulative risk communication. Closing this gap will require organizational support, accessible communication tools, and continued research to align professional practice with public preferences and capabilities
Public support for producer adoption of soil health practices
The Extreme Weather and Emergency Management Survey
National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters have many roles and responsibilities, including communication with core partners throughout the forecast and warning process to ensure that the information they are providing is relevant, understandable, and actionable. Although the NWS communicates to many groups, members of the emergency management community are among the most critical partners. However, little is known about the diverse population of …
Communicating Probability Information in Weather Forecasts
Probabilistic forecast information is rapidly spreading in the weather enterprise. Many scientists agree that this is a positive development, but incorporating probability information into risk communication can be challenging because communicators have little guidance about the most effective way to present it. This project endeavors to create such guidance by initiating a “living systematic review” of research studies that empirically examine t…
Public Willingness to Pay for Continuous and Probabilistic Hazard Information
Investments in new weather forecasting technologies and communication products can be costly and serve the ultimate purpose of protecting life and property. The Forecasting a Continuum of Environmental Threats (FACETs) paradigm attempts to improve technology and communication through the provision of probabilistic hazard information (PHI). The research and technology necessary to produce this information requires a substantial resource investment…
Trust in Government Agencies in the Time of Covid-19
As the US faced its lowest levels of reported trust in government, the COVID-19 crisis revealed the essential service that various federal agencies provide as sources of information. This Element explores variations in trust across various levels of government and government agencies based on a nationally-representative survey conducted in March of 2020. First, it examines trust in agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services, s…
Measuring Tornado Warning Reception, Comprehension, and Response in the United States
Social criteria are important to achieving the mission of the National Weather Service. Accordingly, researchers and administrators at the NWS increasingly recognize a need to supplement verification statistics with complementary data about society in performance management and evaluation. This will require significant development of new capacities to both conceptualize relevant criteria and measure them using consistent, transparent, replicable,…
The Impact of Hours of Advance Notice on Protective Action in Response to Tornadoes
As numerical modeling methods and forecasting technologies continue to improve, people may start to see more specific severe weather timing and location information hours before the event occurs. While studies have investigated response actions on the warning time scales, little work has been done to understand what types of actions residents will take given 4–8 h of advance notice for a possible tornado. This study uses data from the 2018 Severe…

Degrees of Engagement
Scholars have been studying the concept of public engagement and its role in the policy process for some time. Scholars have argued that understanding the interests and motivations of the public and engaging them in the decision-making process can lead to better policy designs and, ultimately, better policy outcomes. However, studies of public engagement often assume that people have a desire to get involved in the policy process. This paper test…
Geoengineering and Climate Change Polarization
The cultural cognition thesis posits that individuals rely extensively on cultural meanings in forming perceptions of risk. The logic of the cultural cognition thesis suggests that a two-channel science communication strategy, combining information content ("Channel 1") with cultural meanings ("Channel 2"), could promote open-minded assessment of information across diverse communities. We test this kind of communication strategy in a two-nation (…
The Advent of Internet Surveys for Political Research
The Internet offers a number of advantages as a survey mode: low marginal cost per completed response, capabilities for providing respondents with large quantities of information, speed, and elimination of interviewer bias. Those seeking these advantages confront the problem of representativeness both in terms of coverage of the population and capabilities for drawing random samples. Two major strategies have been pursued commercially to develop …
