Before the next storm, the real question is not just what we forecast. It’s what people understand, trust, & know how to do.🌀

At the Gov. Hurricane Conference, I co-led a workshop on warnings, access, message clarity, & resilience.

Proud to share @FSUResearch from @FSUCCI.

Two days of great convos @ #IPRRC. Presented work on:

• AI, flood risk communication & trust
• Messaging that helps communities recover after disasters

Plus lots of discussion about AI ethics, deepfakes, data & the future of communication work. Left with lots to think about!

'Lorem ipsum' refers to placeholder text to demonstrate the visual style of a document, webpage, or typeface.

It doesn't mean anything.

The point of 'lorem ipsum' is that it looks realistic enough to work as a demonstration, yet signifies nothing.

Weirdly relatable, huh?
