Earthquakes have manifested as a slow-onset hazard for the state of Oklahoma. While this shaking is resulting in considerable damage, we know little about how residents understand or are adjusting to this new hazard. To explore this issue, we deployed a survey in two Oklahoma communities with varying levels of earthquake exposure and experience to better understand the adjustments, such as purchasing earthquake insurance or installing earthquake latches, residents are intending to undertake within these communities. In line with the protection motivation theory, we found that hazard adjustment intentions were related to both threat appraisals (TAs), or an individual’s perceived probability of a hazard occurring and severity of a given threat, and coping appraisals (CAs), which captures the perceived efficacy and cost of an adjustment, with variations between the two sites. We also found that CAs had more explanatory power for adjustments than TAs.

俄克拉荷马州家庭对地震活动的调整

地震对俄克拉荷马州来说是一种缓慢发生的危险。虽然这种震动造成了相当大的破坏，但我们对居民如何理解或适应这种新危害知之甚少。为了探讨这个问题，我们在俄克拉荷马州的两个地震发生程度和经验各不相同的社区进行了一项调查，以更好地了解居民打算在这些社区内进行的调整，例如购买地震保险或安装地震闩锁。与保护动机理论一致，我们发现风险调整意图与威胁评估（TAs）或个体对风险发生的感知概率和给定威胁的严重程度以及应对评估（CAs）相关，后者捕获了调整的感知效果和成本，两个站点之间存在差异。我们还发现，CA 对调整的解释力比 TA 强。
