Identifying Roles for Public Administrators to Foster Anticipatory Altruism for Severe Weather Preparedness

There is a modest level of support for community preparation options for mitigation of potential impacts from tornadoes.

The findings suggest some level of support for community options which may be useful in arguing for expenditure of mitigation funding.
