contents Timely and adequate risk communication before natural hazards can reduce losses from extreme weather events and provide more resilient disaster preparedness. However, existing natural hazard risk communications have been abstract, ineffective, not immersive, and sometimes counterproductive. The implementation of virtual reality (VR) for natural hazard risk communication presents a promising alternative to the existing risk communication system by offering immersive and engaging experiences. However, it is still unknown how different modalities in VR could affect individuals' mitigation behaviors related to incoming natural hazards. In addition, it is also not clear how the repetitive risk communication of different modalities in the VR system leads to the effect of risk habituation. To fill the knowledge gap, we developed a VR system with a tornado risk communication scenario and conducted a mixed-design human subject experiment (N = 24). We comprehensively investigated our research using both quantitative and qualitative results.
