Description This report describes the results of a nationwide survey on tropical cyclones in the United States. The 2021 Tropical Cyclone Survey (TC21) was designed and administered by the Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA) at the University of Oklahoma. It was fielded June 22 – July 1, 2021, using an online questionnaire that was completed by 1,550 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. The TC20 survey was designed to establish baseline measures of the extent to which U.S. adults receive, understand, and respond to tropical cyclone forecasts and warnings as well as trust in the National Weather Service (NWS), extreme weather and climate risk perceptions, risk literacy, interpretations of probabilistic language, and weather preparedness. The TC21 survey refined these measures and included a few questions about information preferences along the event timeline. This report briefly describes the methodology, survey data collection, data weighting, and a reproduction of the survey instrument with weighted means and frequencies for the questions that elicited numeric responses.

The University of Oklahoma provided funding for all data collection. NOAA’s Weather Program Office through the U.S. Weather Research Program provided funding for survey design and data analysis.
