Weather communication: Are you interested in severe weather communication? Do you want to share your thoughts and experiences about weather issues? A research team from the University of Alabama and the University of Nebraska is interested in learning about individuals’ communication and information behaviors and opinions during severe weather events. They wish to speak with Biloxi residents over 18 years old from across Biloxi and Gulfport, regardless of demographic. They are holding two 60-minute focus groups on July 23 in downtown Gulfport to talk with interested residents. A financial incentive is available, along with refreshments. If you’re interested in participating in a focus group session, please reach out to researchers Cory Armstrong cory.armstrong@unl.edu or Matthew Van Dyke vandyke@apr.ua.edu at 402-472-2055 by July 15 for more information and to set up a session time.
