Wildfire imagery reduces risk information-seeking among homeowners as property wildfire risk increases. [PDF]
Commun Earth Environ, 2022 AbstractNegative imagery of destruction may induce or inhibit action to reduce risks from climate-exacerbated hazards, such as wildfires. This has generated conflicting assumptions among experts who communicate with homeowners: half of surveyed wildfire practitioners perceive a lack of expert agreement about the effect of negative imagery (a burning ...
