Building Trust through Stories in Port St Joe A FLORIDA RESILIENT CITIES PROJECT
MID-TERM PRESENTATION
BACKGROUND THE RESEARCH - Blending UF TO expertise in disaster social studies (Dr Jason von Meding) and
behavioral social psychology (Dr Colin Tucker Smith) - Open and strategic communication leads to trust - Trust in the story and trust in the source - Language/narratives/stories influence beliefs and behaviors - Local people are central to knowledge creation - Research will contribute towards a stronger and more cohesive PSJ - Working with North PSJ PAC
As a method: THE PHOTOVOICE PROCESS
- Reveal hidden narratives
- Counter dominant/powerful misinformation, or stories that marginalize - Take power back, sensitively tell stories to humanize divisive issues and build bridges
What we will do: - In Stage 1 people will use cameras and smartphones to document their experience of: - risk, strength, barrier to progress, trust etc. - In Stage 2 participants will work in small groups (focus group CAROUSEL activity) to interpret the data (photos and videos) and shape the most critical narratives
PROGRESS and LOOKING FORWARD
- IRB application submitted
- Consent forms (community photographers and subjects) and information sheet ready to go - Project Timeline Meeting with participants (group and individual), March 27-28 Photo and video data collection period, March 29 - April 24 Focus Groups with participants, April 24/25 or May 1/2 Data analysis, writing up, prepare exhibition, May 2020 - Preparing detailed individual meeting schedules at present and writing up literature review for project

Collaboration & Bigger Picture ■Contributions:
Explore an adaptive solution for both temporary housing needs & future tourism accommodation demand (amenities for economic development) ■Collaboration:
- Give: study 1, survey reports shared with the Natural & Built environment team - Take: study 3, indicators for the suitability model ■Impact:
- For the community: investigate alternative solutions for housing crisis & tourism development. - For me: problems are not isolated within one industry or one region.

April 6 – June 1, 2020: Paper draft development
July 1, 2020: Final presentation
June 22 – June 30, 2020: Presentation preparation
Current findings The current stakeholders including Northwest Florida Water Management District, and Wastewater Treatment Plant Manager do not have a good record and system for their infrastructure status, what were disrupted and recovered, even the wastewater pipeline maps.
After this grant • Assess the information needs for infrastructure monitoring systems for critical infrastructure; • Whether our research team can help them track and monitor the critical infrastructure functions and conditions; • Selection of sensors and systems to assist their monitoring and maintenance of critical infrastructures.
