Organizations with deep cultural ties to the disaster-impacted communities they serve can help to build trust and ease communication with government agencies. The latest Weather Ready Research explores how community-based organizations in Jackson County, Oregon, supported Latino/Latine survivors after 2020 wildfires and worked to establish more culturally responsive approaches to recovery.
Prescribed burns can be an effective and environmentally friendly measure to mitigate wildfire risk, but people sometimes oppose burn policies for fear that fire will escape and spread. This Weather Ready Research examines how decision-makers in the Midwestern U.S. weigh expert advice and constituent concerns in their support for prescribed fire policies.
The latest round of Weather Ready Research invited previously funded scholars to extend and translate their work into new tools, technologies, or trainings that will advance our understanding of how to most effectively prepare for and communicate about extreme weather. Check out their upcoming projects!
