Severe weather and natural disasters remain a concern, especially as they grow in severity and frequency. According to a Motorola Solutions report, while 86% of respondents are at least somewhat concerned about the intensity and frequency of natural disasters increasing in the coming years, 36% of those surveyed feel very or extremely prepared to face major weather events.
Ninety-three percent of respondents say emergency responders are somewhat prepared, prepared or extremely prepared to help them/their communities in the event of a natural disaster. The same number of respondents indicate that they are confident that their public safety and emergency management agencies are equipped to handle severe weather emergencies.
