The USGS grant offers funding to a CESU partner for a social science study on hazard communication. The study aims to develop a guide that summarizes social science knowledge on risk perception and decision making in natural hazard preparation. Tasks include literature review, evaluation of USGS hazard communication needs, and potentially, laboratory experiments. The focus will be on addressing important research gaps through modest efforts identified as ‘low hanging fruit’. Deadline: Jul 17, 2015.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to fund a social science study to develop a guide to hazard communication that summarizes the current state of social science knowledge about risk perception and decision making in the context of preparing for natural hazards. The study will include literature search and review, evaluation of USGS hazard communication needs, and may include laboratory experiments designed to fill gaps in existing research that are identified as “low hanging fruit” – modest research efforts that could fill important gaps. |
