Description:This qualitative research explored the use of graphics to depict potential local impacts as a supplement to the Hurricane Local Statement (HLS) issued by National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs). Several WFOs have been experimenting with graphics designed to depict potential local impacts, and these examples served as the foundation for the development of a set of prototypes, referred to as the Tropical Cyclone Impacts Graphics (TCIGs). Opinions about these prototypes were then solicited from representatives of key stakeholder groups (emergency managers, broadcast meteorologists, and community decision makers) through focus groups and interviews.
