Creating personalised warnings for future natural hazards | Sally Potter | TEDxMount Victoria

In this talk at TEDxMount Victoria (www.tedxmountvictoria.com), Dr. Sally Potter makes a case for personalised warnings for natural hazards and discusses the issues that need to be addressed. Dr Sally Potter is a senior social scientist at GNS Science in New Zealand, and co-chair of the World Meteorological Organization's WWRP High Impact Weather project. She works with MetService and the World Meteorological Organization on the future of weather warnings.

She conducts research on how people respond to forecasts and warnings for natural hazards, and applies the findings to help write forecasts and design early warning systems. She was involved in research and application for events such as the 2010 Canterbury earthquakes, 2012 Tongariro eruptions, 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, 2019 Whakaari/White Island eruption, 2022-23 Taupō volcanic unrest episode, and 2023 Cyclone Gabrielle. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
