A comprehensive analysis will be carried out of the effects of human ecology patterns in mitigating the casualties, injuries and economic losses caused by tornadoes in the United States. The work will comprise: a) the description, in time and characteristics, of several thousand events; b) the correlation of the tornado events to population and several social characteristics of the impacted populations; c) the assessment of the effect these social and physical parameters have on all losses; and d) a test of the effectiveness of preparedness through the analysis of the net effects of codes in mitigating the impacts of tornadoes. The results of this work will be applicable to mitigation measures in areas prone to tornado occurrences.

将全面分析人类生态模式对减轻美国龙卷风造成的人员伤亡和经济损失的影响。 该工作将包括： a) 对数千个事件的时间和特征进行描述； b) 龙卷风事件与人口以及受影响人口的一些社会特征的相关性； c) 评估这些社会和物理参数对所有损失的影响； d) 通过分析规范在减轻龙卷风影响方面的净效应来测试准备工作的有效性。 这项工作的结果将适用于龙卷风易发地区的缓解措施。
