Description:This project will develop a VR simulation with the following objectives: (1) increase understanding of the risks posed by severe storms, hurricanes, storm surge and flooding; (2) improve knowledge of mitigation and adaptation strategies at individual and community levels, and; (3) engage participants in active learning that builds the environmental literacy necessary for vulnerable coastal communities to increase resilience to climate and weather hazards. The (VR) storm surge simulation that allows individuals to experience a storm surge as if it were happening at the moment, and provides the opportunity to practice preventive behaviors in the virtual world so that individuals can apply those behaviors in the physical world. The VR simulation in tandem with scaffolding education and training materials will help coastal residents and decision makers make better informed decisions and take steps to protect lives and livelihoods in vulnerable coastal communities by heightening risk perceptions and increasing an understanding of the ways in which communities can become more resilient.
