“…However, it has been used to collect data rapidly after disasters (e.g. Mongold et al, 2020 ) to explore social and behavioral aspects of reactions in crisis scenarios. It is also difficult or impossible to conduct face to face interviews because of the contagious aspect of COVID-19.…”

The research aims of this project were to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum experiences in the United States. Our data include responses from 34 states within the US. Findings from our analyses indicate that higher perceived social support predicted higher scores of well-being, while higher scores of perceived loneliness predicted lower scores of well-being, and higher trauma predicted lower well-being measured as satisfaction with life. Qualitative data support these findings, as well as the finding that there were various sources of stress for respondents during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum timeframe—particularly in terms of managing work/occupation obligations and childcare. Additionally, this research fills a gap in understanding infant feeding in emergencies. Respondents perceived that early release from the hospital reduced access to lactation support, and many respondents reported receiving free samples of breastmilk substitutes through a variety of sources.

“…Importantly, prior findings demonstrate preparation behavior predicts evacuation intentions (Lazo et al., 2015 ), suggesting getting people to take preparations in advance of a storm may also prime them to take later emergency action (e.g., evacuation behavior), particularly if they view the threat as likely to occur. This may be particularly relevant in our sample: despite both coastal and inland residents of Florida and Texas being at risk for deleterious consequences of hurricanes, prior research indicates geographic differences in preparation behaviors between coastal and inland residents (Mongold et al., 2021 ). However, it may also be that given the high intercorrelation between susceptibility and severity some degree of multicollinearity was present.…”

“…Threats from COVID‐19 and hurricanes were not equally distributed in our sample: throughout the COVID‐19 pandemic there was wide geographic variability in objective threat of COVID‐19 and not everyone lived near the coast. This may have been a particular issue in a large state like Texas, given that prior research suggests those closer to the coast are more likely to adopt protective actions to mitigate flood and wind damage from hurricanes (Jasour et al., 2018 ), despite those further away from the coast also being at risk (Mongold et al., 2021 ).…”

Media exposure, threat processing, and mitigation behaviors in Gulf Coast residents facing the co‐occurring threats of COVID‐19 and hurricanes

The 2020 hurricane season threatened millions of Americans concurrently grappling with COVID‐19. Processes guiding individual‐level mitigation for these conceptually distinct threats, one novel and chronic (COVID‐19), the other familiar and episodic (hurricanes), are unknown. Theories of health protective behaviors suggest that inputs from external stimuli (e.g., traditional and social media) lead to threat processing, including perceived efficacy (self‐ and response) and perceived threat (susceptibility and severity), guiding mitigation behavior. We surveyed a representative sample of Florida and Texas residents ( N = 1846) between April 14, 2020 and April 27, 2020; many had previous hurricane exposure; all were previously assessed between September 8, 2017 and September 11, 2017. Using preregistered analyses, two generalized structural equation models tested direct and indirect effects of media exposure (traditional media, social media) on self‐reported (1) COVID‐19 mitigation (handwashing, mask‐wearing, social distancing) and (2) hurricane mitigation (preparation behaviors), as mediated through perceived efficacy (self‐ and response) and perceived threat (susceptibility and severity). Self‐efficacy and response efficacy were associated with social distancing ( p = .002), handwashing, mask‐wearing, and hurricane preparation ( p s < 0.001). Perceived susceptibility was positively associated with social distancing ( p = 0.017) and hurricane preparation ( p < 0.001). Perceived severity was positively associated with social distancing ( p < 0.001). Traditional media exhibited indirect effects on COVID‐19 mitigation through increased response efficacy ( p s < 0.05), and to a lesser extent self‐efficacy ( p < 0.05), and on hurricane preparation through increased self‐efficacy and response efficacy and perceived susceptibility ( p s < 0.05). Social media did not exhibit indirect effects on COVID‐19 or hurricane mitigation. Communications targeting efficacy and susceptibility may encourage mitigation behavior; research should explore how social media campaigns can more effectively target threat processing, guiding protective actions.

“…A systematic social media recruitment approach in which a detailed list of organisations is created in spreadsheet for recruitment in groups that are specific to the topic of research (DeYoung & Mangum 2021, Mongold et al 2020) was used to gather responses from people in the USA regarding their perceptions of issues related to companion animals and animal services organisations during the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic list of animal-focused groups covering broad geographic regions was used to recruit people to take the survey.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many aspects of human systems. Gaps in community services for people with companion animals can prevent people from seeking care during a pandemic or create other issues. This paper describes exploratory research to identify some key challenges and successes for animal services providers and for households with companion animals. Using data from 19 USA states were gathered using an online survey and respondents were from 13 animal services organisations and 90 households. Themes were identified based on organisational-level challenges or successes, as well as themes at the household level. These findings may be useful for emergency managers and planners who design outreach and support services for people with companion animals, for example, planning for low-cost animal boarding services for people hospitalised or unable to care for their animal.
