Climate change-related shocks and stresses are prompting the movement of hundreds of thousands- The purpose of this study is to understand the experiences of climate change migrants, people displaced from these crises from the initial impacts of the hazard to their recent arrivals in a new location- To do so we draw on focus group discussions with Puerto Ricans in South and Central Florida displaced by 2017 Hurricane Maria- We document the factors leading up to the hurricane that shaped their preparedness, their relocation decisions, and their post-relocation experiences in the initial seven months following the hurricane- We find that for these Puerto Ricans, underlying neglect, discrimination, and other social processes transformed Maria from a hazard to a disaster with devastating economic, social, and physical and mental health effects, while also creating challenges in early recovery- However, migrants were also able to draw on their faith, community and educational institutions, and new neighbours as sources of strength and coping- We argue that since these factors are socially produced, a vulnerability perspective is critical to understanding the experiences of climate migrants- We draw on this perspective to conclude with research and policy implications-
Understanding public media channel preferences can inform preparedness plans, response strategies and long-term recovery. However, questions remain about how media consumption changes across pre-crisis, crisis, and post-crisis phases. Past theories argue that media use may change for several reasons, including during times of societal conflict and challenge. These theories point to the belief that, during a crisis, we expect media channel use to change because media preferences during a crisis will be fundamentally different compared with everyday routines. This paper takes advantage of a survey fielded to Texas residents soon after Hurricane Harvey. Here, we ask the following: (a) "what media channels are most prominent in each crisis phase?" and (b) "do media channel preferences change across crisis phases?". We use simple descriptive statistics and chi-square tests to describe media channel preferences across the three crisis phases by demographics. Additionally, we use alluvial diagrams to visualize media channel preferences over time. In total, 62% (n = 174) of respondents reported no changes in channel preferences. However, chi-square tests identified significant differences in media use changes related to a handful of demographic characteristics. These findings are explored alongside theories that would hypothesize likely media use changes across pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis phases.
障壁岛是美国大西洋和墨西哥湾沿岸的细沙带，在伊恩飓风等风暴登陆陆地时吸收了大部分威力。除了保护海岸线之外，它们还具有许多有价值的生态功能，例如净化水源和为鸟类和鱼类提供栖息地。这些岛屿本身具有令人惊讶的适应性，但在这些动态环境中建造的任何东西都可能迟早会被冲走。但有一些方法可以帮助保护障壁岛屿，同时维护旅游活动区域。
从2007-2020年，美国海岸警卫队进行了23次大规模的增兵行动，即对飓风或石油泄漏等灾难性事件的高强度、短时间的应急响应。在这些激增期间，海岸警卫队根据事件的严重程度和持续时间部署了不同数量和类型的人员、飞机和船只
