“…This is in line with ref. 56 , who utilized 3D animation to enhance the effectiveness of warning messages in motivating people to take action during flood events. Their study emphasized the importance of combining PMT components, such as highlighting the low cost of taking action, the efficiency of recommended actions, self-efficacy, and the severity of the threat, in communication strategies.…”

Human behaviour has gained recognition as a critical factor in addressing climate change and its impacts. With extreme weather events posing risks to vulnerable communities, understanding cognitive processes driving behaviours becomes essential for effective risk communication. This study focuses on the 2018 “Vaia” storm, which brought unprecedented precipitation and wind velocity to the mountainous regions of North-eastern Italy. Drawing upon the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) framework, we employ probabilistic models to identify distinct groups with similar behavioural profiles. By administering a web-based survey to 1500 residents affected by the event, we find that threat appraisal is more influential in shaping protective behaviours than coping appraisal. Our findings indicate that by enhancing coping appraisals and discouraging non-protective measures, we can actively mitigate maladaptive responses and promote the adoption of effective adaptation strategies.

“…PMT also discusses response costs—the costs of taking actions—as barriers that influence people's coping appraisal. When the perceived cost of taking recommended response actions is high, people tend to fail to apply protective measures they consider worthy (Banerski & Abramczuk, 2023).…”

Moving toward community preparedness efficacy: Uncovering barriers in communities disproportionately impacted by flooding

Disasters can have devastating impacts on communities particularly when they are disproportionately impacted by flooding. Despite the presence of governmental programs implemented to increase community preparedness for flooding, communities may still struggle. Currently, we have limited holistic knowledge of barriers that stifle community preparedness. To address this gap, we conducted 32 in‐depth interviews with stakeholders including community members, leaders, and city employees in a community subject to flood risk. The findings suggest that preparedness is not overcome simply by providing knowledge, and people do not necessarily embrace preparedness after participating in training programs. Rather, community preparedness is entwined with addressing chronic stressors, increasing community participation, and attending to social justice and broken trust due to historical mistreatment of the community. We hereby introduce the notion of community preparedness efficacy—defined as the barriers needed to be overcome for communities to be able to prepare for disasters—that considers chronic stressors, community participation, social justice, and equity to move underserved communities forward.
