Description:This two-year project applies and integrates social and behavioral science research to develop, test, and evaluate methods that can be used by NWS Weather Forecasting Offices (WFOs) to collect operationally actionable vulnerability data in their County Warning Areas. Specifically, we will evaluate a range of methods in different types of WFOs across 4 NWS regions to populate unique Brief Vulnerability Overview Tools (BVOT) for each WFO. The social science-derived methods used to collect these “known vulnerabilities” result in mapped information that alerts meteorologists to critical vulnerabilities without being overly detailed that they might distract meteorologists from their core tasks. Thus, this social science-driven proposal will assess not only the usability and scalability of the BVOT in operations, but, also, will assess the viability of new ways of thinking about what would be involved in transferring social science-derived research from research-to-operations.
