Description The Severe Weather and Society Survey (WX) was designed and administered by the Center for Risk and Crisis Management (CRCM) at the University of Oklahoma. This is the fifth survey in the annual series (see Silva et al. 2017, Silva et al. 2018, Silva et al. 2019, and Krocak et al. 2020 for information on WX17, WX18, WX19, and WX20). WX21 was fielded June 9 – July 17, 2021 using an online questionnaire that was completed by 1,550 US adults (age 18+) that were recruited from an Internet panel that matches the characteristics of the U.S. population as estimated in the U.S. Census. WX17 and WX18 were designed to establish baseline measures of the extent to which US adults receive, understand, and respond to severe weather forecasts and warnings; WX19 and WX20 were designed to continue and, in some cases, refine the measurement of these concepts. WX21 continues to measure these core concepts, giving us 5 years of consistent data to continue measuring change. Additionally, WX21 measured public trust in the National Weather Service (NWS), extreme weather and climate risk perceptions, risk literacy, interpretations of probabilistic language, and interpretation of longer-range severe weather forecasts (like those from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center).
