Evaluation Research to Examine the Effectiveness of Tsunami Hazard and Risk Communication Materials

PI: Liesel Ritchie
NHC Research Project Team: Nnenia Campbell and Jamie Vickery
Funding Period: 2013 – 2015
Funder: U.S. Geological Survey

This exploratory research looked at the effectiveness of the tsunami awareness short video, “The First Sue Nami,” created by the Art Center College of Design for USGS’s Science Application for Risk Reduction division. The project involved developing and implementing a quasi-experimental evaluation approach to provide data to inform future messaging and communication strategies for tsunami awareness and protective actions in target populations.
