Forecasts of snow and ice storms, hurricanes and storm surge, extreme heat, and other severe weather events are made with greater accuracy, geographic specificity, and lead time to allow people and communities to take appropriate protective measures. Yet hazardous weather continues to cause loss of life and result in other preventable social costs...There is growing recognition that a host of social and behavioral factors affect how we prepare for, observe, predict, respond to, and are impacted by weather hazards. For example, an individual's response to a severe weather event may depend on their understanding of the forecast, prior experience with severe weather, concerns about their other family members or property, their capacity to take the recommended protective actions, and numerous other factors. Indeed, it is these factors that can determine whether or not a potential hazard becomes an actual disaster. Thus, it is essential to bring to bear expertise in the social and behavioral sciences (SBS)--including disciplines such as anthropology, communication, demography, economics, geography, political science, psychology, and sociology--to understand how people's knowledge, experiences, perceptions, and attitudes shape their responses to weather risks and to understand how human cognitive and social dynamics affect the forecast process itself"--Page 1.WeatherSocial aspectsWeatherEconomic aspectsUnited StatesUnited StatesfastWeatherSocial aspects.WeatherEconomic aspects304.25National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Committee on Advancing Social and Behavioral Science Research and Application within the Weather Enterprise.National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate.National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Division on Earth and Life Studies.National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Board on Environmental Change and Society.National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Board on Human-Systems Integration.National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.).Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814486703321Integrating social and behavioral sciences within the weather enterprise4024718UNINA
