Limited funding hinders the investment in costly mitigation measures, increasing exposure to natural disasters. Providing coastal resources and data products through effective communication mechanisms is fundamental to improving the well-being of these underserved coastal communities. The overall objectives of the pilot effort to engage and connect with underrepresented coastal communities in Puerto Rico were the following: (1) compile a comprehensive database of the projects and resources relevant to natural hazards in Puerto Rico; (2) foster connections with Puerto Rican interested parties to better understand their priorities regarding coastal hazards and provide them with pertinent U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) resources; and (3) identify knowledge gaps to guide future USGS projects in Puerto Rico. To address these objectives, USGS team members engaged in a series of listening sessions with interested parties and potential collaborators to assess their information needs and preferences, their perception of the agency’s information resources, and their recommendations for improvement. The research team organized five (5) listening sessions with 24 interested parties in total via Zoom, to assess their needs and perceptions regarding USGS natural hazards resources for Puerto Rico. The listening sessions focused on: (1) interested parties’ information needs and preferences, (2) their perception of the agency’s information resources, and (3) recommendations for improving resources to meet their needs. For further information about this data, refer to the associated journal article (Torres-García and others, 2024). Purpose: This data release summarizes the data gathered at the five listening sessions with stakeholders in Puerto Rico.

Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Five listening sessions were organized with interested parties via Zoom from August 30 to November 10, 2021. The listening sessions focused on: (1) interested parties’ information needs and preferences, (2) their perception of the agency’s information resources, and (3) recommendations for improving resources to meet their needs. A facilitator asked a series of questions. The meetings were recorded, and the deliberations were transcribed using the machine process provided by Transcribe™. The machine transcript was revised and rewritten by the staff, based on their notes. The transcript was then uploaded to MAXQDA™, a qualitative data analysis (QDA) software, that helped the consultants—through a process of coding or labeling—to identify key topics, ideas, concerns, and recommendations of the participants. The findings were gathered and tabulated in Excel and are included in this data release. Identifying information has been removed from all data files to protect confidentiality in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974.
