Note:
Extant research has examined social vulnerability to climate disasters, demonstrating that poor and minority communities have greater exposure to the negative effects of such events. However, little work has attempted to understand how objective risk of disaster relates to perceptions of risk, and how communities make sense of public mitigation strategies. We propose to combine these perspectives to examine how neighborhood perceptions of risk and mitigation map onto the physical infrastructure, the natural environment, and proposals to mitigate risk. Specifically, we propose to examine how these perceptions relate to flood risk in the Houston area. SAMs 1.1.1
