Short summary
This paper integrates quantitative and qualitative methodologies to analyze how the social and psychological patterns can influence flood warnings in coastal areas. We presented a case study located on the Adriatic Sea coast, where two complementary instruments, a siren and an alert via SMS, were implemented. Our results show how the contextualization of warnings can widely modify the effects of technical tools, providing complementary results to literature and suggesting new relations.
