Risk perception / preparedness gap
• Perceived adaptation efficacy
• Perceived self-efficacy
“Being located where I am, even in aCategory 1 storm...we're probablygoing to have a water issue.
So the degree to which we try toharden our buildings...we haven'tplaced a lot of emphasis on it.
Because if I'm looking at protectingthis building against a Category 3, 4,5 hurricane, wind is not going tobe the issue.
It's going to be water...where we'resitting right now will be full of water.
And there's no way for me reallyto prevent that type of damage.”(Owner of business located on a barrier island)
