2019 - 2023: Twitter Analyses of Hurricanes Harvey & Irma
Project goal: To understand how at-risk publics consume, process, and use the evolving, uncertain hazard forecast information available to them during a tropical cyclone (TC) threat
- Specifically, our research focused on two U.S.-landfalling TCs during the 2017 hurricane season - Harvey & Irma. Analysis of both storms allowed us to build complementary knowledge from TCs with very different trajectories, lead times, and primary threats upon landfall.
