“…Increases in the mean number of tornadoes per consecutive‐day event and event day are consistent with previously reported increases in the mean number of tornadoes per tornado‐day and per tornado outbreak (Tippett and Cohen, 2016; Moore, 2017). These increases are co‐occurring with increases in the annual frequency of days and outbreaks with many tornadoes (Brooks et al ., 2014; Elsner et al ., 2015; Tippett and Cohen, 2016; Moore, 2017; Moore and Fricker, 2020).…”

“…The number of days per year with many tornadoes has increased over time (Brooks et al ., 2014; Elsner et al ., 2015; Moore, 2017; Moore and Fricker, 2020). Considering this along with the results presented herein suggests that, while most big tornado‐days occur in consecutive‐day events, more are starting to occur in isolation rather than in consecutive‐day events, especially in spring and summer.…”

“…Despite the relatively large number that occur each year, tornadoes occur on relatively few days of the year and, fortunately, days with many tornadoes are rarer (Verbout et al ., 2006; Elsner et al ., 2014). Over time, tornadoes in the United States are concentrating on even fewer days, but the number of days per year with many tornadoes is on the rise (Brooks et al ., 2014; Elsner et al ., 2015; Moore, 2017; Moore and Fricker, 2020).…”

Days with many tornadoes in the United States have become more common over time. These days tend to occur in consecutive-day tornado events, but trends in the characteristics of consecutive-day tornado events have not been documented. The Mann-Kendall trend test and Theil-Sen slope estimator were used in this study to detect trends and estimate rates of change over time in multiple metrics of consecutive-day tornado events. Results show that the number of consecutive-day events, the number of days occurring in consecutiveday events, and the number of tornadoes occurring in consecutive-day events have decreased over time. The percentages of annual tornadoes and tornadodays occurring in consecutive-day events have also decreased over time. These trends suggest that the percentage of tornadoes occurring on isolated days has, alternatively, increased over time. K E Y W O R D Sconsecutive-day events, tornadoes, trends

The article considers the systematization of contemporary solutions to eliminate the consequences of anthropogenic, natural and man-made disasters. The purpose of the article is to classify modern approaches to the implementation of shelters. The article considers modern built and conceptual projects. As a result of a systematic analysis of project examples, 2 major groups of approaches were identified: specific and non-specific. Specific approaches are supposed to be used within one particular sort of cataclysm (tsunamis, floods, earthquakes), non-specific approaches are suitable for different extreme conditions. The study will be useful for practical and theoretical research in the field of combating the consequences of cataclysms.
