Risk Communication in Concurrent Disasters

banner-covid-longitudinal-risk

As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds, for many, it is not the only unfolding disaster. Tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, floods, and others are simultaneously affecting millions of people. Others recovering from recent disasters are also considering adjustments to prepare for potential events related to seasonal and year-round hazards. This Working Group focuses on understanding how people affected by sequential and concurrent disasters make decisions to protect themselves and others.
