Description This report describes the results of a regularly distributed survey of nationwide Emergency Managers as part of The Extreme Weather and Emergency Management Survey (WxEM) series. This project aims to send surveys to Emergency Managers across the United States three to four times a year, although that frequency may change based on Emergency Manager and research needs. The Extreme Weather and Emergency Management Survey, Wave 3 (WxEM Wave 3) was designed by the Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA) at the University of Oklahoma and collaborators from Texas Tech University. It was administered by IPPRA. It is the third survey in the series (see Stormer et al. 2023 and Wanless et al. 2023 for information on WxEM Wave 1 and Wave 2). WxEM Wave 3 opened on June 1, 2023, using an online questionnaire that as of this writing has been completed by 322 Emergency Management personnel that were recruited from an IPPRA built database of Emergency Managers from across the country (see Stormer et al. 2023 and Wanless et al. 2023b for more info on recruitment). WxEM Wave 3 follows WxEM Wave 1, which was designed to recruit and gather demographic information on participants and WxEM Wave 2, which focuses on how Emergency Managers use severe weather forecast information. Wave 3 focuses on hazardous weather events that happen in the same place at the same time, called compound hazards. Wave 3 measured Emergency Manager perception of and experience with compound hazards and how such events are communicated and planned for. Additionally, Wave 3 addressed Emergency Manager perception of vulnerability and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Emergency Management. This report presents an overview of the methodology of the survey data collection, and a reproduction of the survey instrument with frequencies for the questions that elicited numeric responses.
The University of Oklahoma provided funding for all data collection. NOAA’s Weather Program Office provided funding for survey design and data analysis.
