This study aims to compare the ongoing negative community effects following three severe weather events including the 2019 eastern Nebraska flood, the 2024 Nebraska Arbor Day tornado, and 2024 Hurricane Helene. Each of these events caused lasting damage to their communities and continue to impact citizens. For each event, data was collected to better understand the logistical and social/emotional impacts those affected continue to experience. Data was collected in several ways for each event but focused on reporting the experiences of those impacted and disaster responders. Across all disasters, respondents shared disparities in accessible disaster communications and early warning systems, persistent mental-health impacts for children and first-responders, logistical challenges to response, and concerns regarding response sustainability. These findings can be used to better understand community needs following a severe weather event and will aid in the improvement of community awareness and resilience in weather-related hazards.
