Description
Summary:Coastal storms are likely to increase in frequency and become even more damaging. An unresolved policy issue is whether current residents should receive federal subsidies through such programs as the Federal Flood Insurance Program or the FEMA disaster relief program that encourage thembe encouraged to rebuild in the same locations that have suffered damage through federal subsidies such as subsidized flood insurance or the FEMA disaster relief fund. This research investigated the impact that messages framed to either support or oppose such government assistance for rebuilding had on respondent opinion. We looked at opinion on not only the rebuilding itself but also other related subjects such as the economic and environmental impacts of rebuilding in situ. The research further looked at the ways in which attributing these messages to partisan sources affected response. We found that message frames either highlighting the benefits or the costs of rebuilding had a marked impact on public opinion and that partisan source cues played a smaller role. This issue of responsibility for rebuilding is likely to continue to become even more important as climate change puts even more coastal residents at risk. 沿海风暴的频率很可能会增加,破坏性也会更大。一个尚未解决的政策问题是,当前居民是否应该通过联邦洪水保险计划或联邦应急管理局(FEMA)救灾计划等获得联邦补贴,这些计划鼓励居民在遭受破坏的同一地点进行重建。本研究调查了“支持或反对此类政府重建援助”的信息对受访者意见的影响。我们不仅考虑了有关重建工作的看法,还考虑了关于其他相关主题的看法,例如原地重建的经济影响和环境影响。本研究进一步分析了“将这些信息归因于党派来源”一事会如何影响看法。我们发现,强调重建的好处或成本的消息框架对舆论具有显著影响,而党派来源线索发挥的作用较小。随着气候变化使更多沿海居民面临风险,重建责任的问题很可能会继续变得更加重要。 Es probable que las tormentas costeras aumenten en frecuencia y se vuelvan aún más dañinas. Una cuestión de política no resuelta es si los residentes actuales deberían recibir subsidios federales a través de programas como el Programa Federal de Seguro contra Inundaciones o el programa de ayuda en casos de desastre de FEMA que los alientan a reconstruir en los mismos lugares que han sufrido daños. A través de subsidios federales como el seguro contra inundaciones subsidiado o el fondo de ayuda en casos de desastre de FEMA. Esta investigación investigó el impacto que tuvieron en la opinión de los encuestados los mensajes elaborados para apoyar o oponerse a dicha asistencia gubernamental para la reconstrucción. Analizamos opiniones no sólo sobre la reconstrucción en sí, sino también sobre otros temas relacionados, como los impactos económicos y ambientales de la reconstrucción in situ. La investigación analizó además las formas en que la atribución de estos mensajes
