Description:

Investigations into housing resiliency during tornadic events have been on-going for years. Various weather-aware disciplines have investigated the role of space, human reaction, and physical construction (to name a few) to understand and mitigate risk. This panel seeks to convene a multi-disciplinary panel of researchers focused on the implication of housing – specifically manufactured, mobile, modern site-built, older site, built, weak-frame/unsecured housing, and similar. Knowledge from geospatial sciences, civil engineering, and social sciences will be integrated to form a cohesive understanding of physical risks, perceptions of risk, and how that risk is exacerbated or mitigated in space. This work is part of a larger NOAA supported VORTEX-SE effort, and integrates findings across teams to create shared understanding and
