Abstract：
Post-tropical cyclone Fiona made landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada, in September 2022 with the force of a Category 2 hurricane. Using \'risk society\' as an analytical framework, and Thomas A. Birkland\'s \'focusing event\' concept, this paper seeks to understand how publics construct risk in the context of climate change and how institutions engage with those narratives. A qualitative content analysis of 439 newspaper articles from across Canada reveals that most media provide a superficial description of hazard impacts. When media are critical, they connect Fiona to climate change, other extreme events, social vulnerability, and systemic inequality. In response to Fiona and industry trends, insurance representatives indicate a withdraw from covering low-probability, high-consequence events owing to ambiguity in risk analysis and financial interests, complicating hazard relief. Political actors\' rhetoric is strong-delivering relief in unprecedented ways and offering new adaptive policy. However, a history of unfulfilled political promises to act on climate change elicits scepticism from media sources.
摘要：
后热带气旋菲奥娜登陆新斯科舍省，加拿大,2022年9月，以2级飓风的力量。使用“风险社会”作为分析框架，和托马斯·A·伯克兰的“聚焦事件”概念，本文旨在了解公众如何在气候变化的背景下构建风险，以及机构如何参与这些叙述。对来自加拿大各地的439篇报纸文章进行的定性内容分析显示，大多数媒体都对危害影响进行了肤浅的描述。当媒体批评时，他们把Fiona和气候变化联系起来,其他极端事件,社会脆弱性,系统性不平等。为了响应Fiona和行业趋势，保险代表表示退出低概率承保，由于风险分析和财务利益含糊不清，后果严重的事件，复杂的危险救济。政治行为者的言辞以前所未有的方式强有力地提供救济，并提供新的适应性政策。然而,对气候变化采取行动的政治承诺未兑现的历史引起了媒体的怀疑。
