Specific AimsSpecific AimsPost-Katrina: Does proximity to extreme events affect risk perception for a subsequent event?
Extant research on hazard proximity has shown effect for:
nuclear power plants and associated transportation,
high voltage power lines, industrial sites, toxics,
Hypothesized that greater physical proximity to Katrina landfall would predict perception of risk for hurricane landfall in the next (2006) season, controlling for historically based local hurricane risk probability.
Specific AimsSpecific AimsFollow-up: Does risk perception for subsequent events decline over time in absence of additional events?
Extant research on change in risk perception has examined:
health risk behavior, terrorism, environmental health threats,
life cycle changes, approaching threat (Y2K), earthquakes.
