Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico: Survey data on effects, impacts and adaptive responses in agriculture and forestry from 2023 to 2024

This data publication presents quantitative and qualitative data on the effects, associated impacts, and hurricane preparedness and recovery responses in agriculture and forestry following Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico on September 2022. The data were collected through an online survey conducted in 2023-2024, aimed at gathering the perspectives of agricultural and forestry advisors from local, federal, and academic institutions. A total of 54 responses were received. Both survey responses and a copy of the survey are included in both English and Spanish.Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Puerto Rico on September 18, 2022, while many areas were still recovering from hurricanes Irma and María (2017). The purpose of this study’s was to examine the challenges that Hurricane Fiona posed to the agriculture and forestry sectors in Puerto Rico. Through a multi-methods survey (n = 54) directed to agricultural and forestry advisors, we examined: (1) hurricane effects and associated impacts across sectors, (2) barriers to response and recovery, (3) lessons applied from past events, (4) changes in response strategies over time, and (5) differences in perceived institutional capacity by organizational affiliation.For more information about this study and these data, see Álvarez-Berríos et al.

本数据集公开了2022年9月波多黎各遭遇菲奥娜飓风（Hurricane Fiona）后，农林领域受飓风影响情况、相关衍生影响，以及飓风应对与灾后恢复举措的定量与定性数据。本数据通过2023至2024年开展的线上调研采集所得，调研旨在收集来自地方、联邦及学术机构的农林顾问的观点与反馈，最终共回收有效问卷54份。调研问卷原文与回收的问卷数据均提供英文与西班牙文版本。2022年9月18日，菲奥娜飓风登陆波多黎各，彼时该地区多数区域仍处于2017年伊尔玛飓风与玛丽亚飓风的灾后恢复阶段。本研究旨在探究菲奥娜飓风对波多黎各农林产业造成的各类挑战，通过针对农林顾问开展的多方法调研（有效样本量n=54），围绕以下五个维度展开分析：1）各领域受飓风影响情况及相关衍生影响；2）灾后应对与恢复过程中存在的阻碍；3）过往灾害中总结的经验应用情况；4）应对策略随时间的演变；5）不同隶属机构主体对制度能力的感知差异。如需了解本研究与本数据集的更多细节，请参阅Álvarez-Berríos等人（待刊）的相关成果。
