Natural Disaster Preparedness
PúblicoConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerClimate change is a globally intensifying threat to the world, accompanied by a worsening level and rate of natural disasters such as hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires. To mitigate the effects of increasing natural disasters, individual disaster preparedness is important. This project investigated individual preparedness in the areas of Iceland and the United States and discovered how organizations in disaster prone areas are preparing their populations. We found that most people are confident in their own preparedness, yet their actual preparations are incomplete when compared to professional advice. We prototyped an application to inform the public of how they should be preparing for disaster and recommend further development of similar resources.
