Research Webinar: Understanding How Flood Information is Communicated in Rutland County, VT
Wednesday, February 26, 2025 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Zoom—Registration Required
In this webinar, Dr. Anne Jefferson, Dr. Elizabeth Doran, and Dr. Lakelyn Taylor from the University of Vermont will provide an overview of their NOAA-funded, Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH) project analyzing flood communication in local communities. The talk will focus specifically on Rutland County, VT as the researchers share the community network diagram they created based on the interviews and focus groups conducted in Rutland County. The talk will also explore message-related content such as recommended actions, when messages were received/shared, and barriers to receiving/sharing flood messages. The aim of this webinar is to demonstrate how flood information is communicated in a smaller, local community.
Participants should expect approximately 30 minutes of presentation, which will be recorded, followed by a facilitated, 30-minute Q&A period.
