    Content: For almost a decade, economists Kevin M. Simmons and Daniel Sutter have been studying the economic effects and social consequences of the approximately 1,200 tornadoes that touch down across the United States annually. During this time, they have compiled information from sources such as NOAA and the U.S. Census Bureau to examine the casualties caused by tornadoes and to evaluate the National Weather Service (NWS)'s efforts to reduce these casualties. Their unique database has enabled this fascinating and game-changing study for meteorologists, social scientists, emergency managers, and everyone studying severe weather, policy, disaster management, or applied economics.
    Note: What We Can Learn from Societal Impacts Analysis -- Tornado Climatology and Society's Tornado Risk -- An Analysis of Tornado Casualties -- Tornado Warnings: How Doppler Radar, False Alarms, and Tornado Watches Affect Casualties -- Sheltering from the Storm: Evaluating Tornado Shelters as a Mitigations Investment -- Property Damage and Community Impacts of Tornadoes -- Going Forward: Using Societal Impacts Research to Reduce Tornado Risk.

    Content: In 2011, despite continued developments in forecasting, tracking, and warning technology, the United States was hit by the deadliest tornado season in decades. More than 1,200 tornadoes touched down, shattering communities and their safety nets and killing more than 500 people-a death toll unmatched since 1953. Drawing on the unique analysis described in their first book, Economic and Societal Impacts of Tornadoes, economists Kevin M. Simmons and Daniel Sutter here examine the factors that contributed to the outcomes of such tornadoes as the mid-April outbreak that devastated communities in North Carolina, the “Super Outbreak” across the southern and eastern United States in late April, and the single, mile-wide funnel that touched down in Joplin, Missouri, among others, in late May
    Note: Includes bibliographical references (p. 95-98) and index , The 2011 Tornado Season in Historical Perspective -- Southeastern Vulnerability and the April 27-28 Tornado Outbreak -- Extreme Vulnerability Versus Extreme Weather in the 2011 Season -- Doppler Radar, Warnings, and Electric Power -- Recovery from Tornadoes -- Lessons Learned and the Path Forward.

    Content: For almost a decade, economists Kevin M. Simmons and Daniel Sutter have been studying the economic impacts and social consequences of the approximately 1,200 tornadoes that touch down across the United States annually. During this time, Simmons and Sutter have been compiling information from sources such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Census in order to examine the casualties caused by tornadoes and to evaluate the National Weather Service's efforts to reduce these casualties. In Economic and Societal Impacts of Tornadoes, Simmons and Sutter present their findings. This analysis will be useful to anyone studying meteorology and imperative for anyone working in emergency disaster management
