- 52. Risk perceptions • Perceiveddamage severity Category 1: – wind damage: ‘minor’ – flood damage: ‘none’ Category 3: - wind damage: ‘moderate’ - flood damage: ‘minor’ Category 5: - wind damage: ‘catastrophic’ - flood damage: ‘major’
- 53. Preparedness – Attended meetingsor received written - Developed a business disaster information on hurricane preparedness recovery plan – Talked with those working in your - Made arrangements to move the business about what to do in case of business to another location in a hurricane case of damage – Developed a plan to notify employees – Taken action to flood-proof or wind- - Permanently moved your proof your facility business to another location to reduce risk of damage – Purchased flood insurance for your business - Obtained an emergency – Purchased business interruption generator for use if electric power insurance fails – Stored water - Backed up computer data – Stored fuel or batteries – Stored critical inputs – Developed a business emergency plan Median: 8 measures implemented
- 54. Differences in experience “Themore events that you've been through, the better educated you are. Out here...our changeover in business and ownership is fairly high. So you have a lot of people that are new that haven't experienced different situations” (Respondent 6, owner) Flood risk perception Preparedness index
- 55. Spatial differences Wind risk perception Flood risk perception Preparedness index Mean preparedness index Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals
- 56. Risk perception /preparedness gap • Perceived adaptation “Being located where I am, even in a Category 1 storm...we're probably efficacy going to have a water issue. So the degree to which we try to • Perceived self- harden our buildings...we haven't placed a lot of emphasis on it. efficacy Because if I'm looking at protecting this building against a Category 3, 4, 5 hurricane, wind is not going to be the issue. It's going to be water...where we're sitting right now will be full of water. And there's no way for me really to prevent that type of damage.” (Owner of business located on a barrier island)
