Abstract:

When a hurricane approaches the coast, communicating fast, accurate information to affected citizens can mean the difference between life and death. East Carolina University researchers Catherine Smith, Donna Kain, and Ken Wilson are working with coastal officials to examine the ways that people attend to, interpret, and use official and unofficial information to make decisions regarding severe weather.
