Prior research has found that knowledge sufficiency and risk perception are two key factors that influence disaster preparedness. We examine the role of mediated and non-mediated sources in predicting information-seeking behaviors and disaster preparedness activities, as well as what influence the recent weather events may have on those issues. Findings indicated that worry and perceived risk about severe weather were significantly influential on information seeking, but that mediated and non-mediated sources, along with information sufficiency were key predictors of disaster preparedness. The findings are important for both scholars and practitioners of media messaging. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Atlantic Journal of Communication is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
