Summary:Little is known about how multi-hazard environments affect people, especially those living in urban areas in northern latitudes. This study surveyed homeowners in both Anchorage and Fairbanks, USA, Alaska’s two larger urban centers, to measure individual risk perceptions, mitigation response, and damages related to wildfire, ice hazards, and permafrost thaw. A geospatial hazard assessment informed the survey’s stratified sampling design. The survey had 751 respondents.
