Risk perception and decision-making during multiple climate hazards

The growing prevalence of multiple hazards requires an improved understanding of people's perceptions and responses. In this review, we synthesize recent empirical studies of compound, cascading, and complex climate hazards to identify promising directions in the fields of behavioral science, disaster studies, and communication. We organize the review around three key areas of emerging research: studying how multiple hazards are perceived, how multiple hazards shape protective action, and how communication shapes response. We conclude by identifying gaps in research that support individuals and communities facing the reality of severe, compound climate hazards now and in the future.
