Public longitudinal panel surveys collected during and after hazardous weather threats: Hurricanes - 2021 Hurricane Henri Data

These are novel datasets of longitudinal panel survey data (i.e., repeated surveys of the same people) when a hurricane is threatening and approaching landfall in the mainland U.S. and after the hurricane has dissipated. Three survey waves were collected pre-landfall when the hurricane was threatening (the threat / predictive phase), and one survey wave was collected post-storm (post landfall or dissipation). The three waves of data collected during the predictive phase measured what forecast and other risk information respondents were getting, respondents' risk perceptions, and respondents' protective behavioral responses, all pertaining to the hurricane risks at that time. The data collected during the post-storm wave correspondingly measured what forecast and other risk information was most useful and what people's actual experiences were with the hurricane. Such rapidly deployed, event-based, repeated-measure data for hurricanes are novel. This project includes datasets for the following hurricane events: Hurricanes Laura and Marco in 2020, Hurricane Henri in 2021, and Hurricane Ian in 2022.

This mission focused on understanding how people’s information seeking behaviors, risk perceptions, and protective actions evolved in the days before, during, and after Hurricane Henri (2021) impacted the U.S. mainland. Longitudinal panel survey data (i.e., repeated surveys of the same people) were collected from residents of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York who resided within 50 miles of the coast. This mission includes three social science collections; 1) the area sampling frame, 2) the wide format survey data collected from our four fielding waves that has been cleaned, relabelled, and recoded for analysis, and 3) the cleaned, relabelled, and recoded survey data transformed to long (person-period) format that has been integrated with official weather-related risk products data.
