Description:As compound hazards, landfalling tropical cyclones (LTC) pose a significant risk to public safety, bringing significant winds, flooding rains, and storm surge in their wake. In the context of Covid-19, risks for harm can become heightened as people make decisions about how to prioritize health concerns for themselves and others amid complex weather risks. When tornadoes co-occur with flash flooding during LTCs, what we call TORFFs, warnings for each can contain contradictory advice that can complicate people’s understanding of the threat that is most dangerous to them. This project will examine how core partners conceptualize, plan for, and communicate TORFFs in LTCs. This project will develop new knowledge about (a) how partners attend to, assess, and communicate compound hazards and how Covid-19 magnifies challenges for partners’ when giving advice to the public and planning for evacuations and shelters; and (b) how this understanding shapes and is shaped by partners’ conceptualization of changes in and indicators for the public’s vulnerability.
