Tornado Risk Perception of University of Kansas Campus Community

This mission was initiated as part of a senior capstone project. The purpose of this project was to assess the risk perception and sheltering decision of the University of Kansas (KU) campus community after the Linwood tornado on May 28, 2019. It was administered online using email listservs for KU’s Schools and Colleges for recruitment, inviting participants to complete a short Qualtrics survey. No Personal Identifiable Information was collected. The response rate was extremely low, with only 228 responses. Respondents were diverse in terms of identifying as either a student, faculty, and staff.
