Description This report describes the results of an annual nationwide survey on severe weather in the United States. The 2022 Severe Weather and Society Survey (WX) was designed and administered by the Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA) at the University of Oklahoma. It is the sixth survey in the annual series (see Silva et al. 2017, Silva et al. 2018, Silva et al. 2019, Krocak et al. 2020, Krocak et al. 2021 for information on WX17, WX18, WX19, WX20, and WX21, respectively). WX22 was fielded July 15 – July 27, 2022, using an online questionnaire that was completed by 1,409 U.S. 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. Following WX17 and WX18, which were designed to establish baseline measures of the extent to which U.S. adults receive, understand, and respond to severe weather forecasts and warnings, WX19, WX20, and WX21 were designed to continue and, in some cases, refine the measurement of these concepts. WX22 continues to measure these core concepts, giving us 6 years of consistent data to continue measuring change. Additionally, WX22 measured concern about property damage caused by severe weather and tested different kinds of messaging and visualizations related to improving Storm Prediction Center convective outlook forecasts. This report presents an overview of methodology of the survey data collection, data weighting, and a reproduction of the survey instrument with weighted means and frequencies for the questions that elicited numeric responses.
