Description:Nurture Nature Center’s research team conducted a series of focus groups and surveys designed to elicit feedback from river community residents about the ways in which they understand and use products from the NWS’s suite of flood forecast and warning tools. Participants from two flood-prone towns in the Delaware River Basin were ex- posed to a hurricane scenario that resulted in extreme, but historically recorded, flood levels for the area. Through this scenario, participants studied a series of NWS flood forecast products, and gave feedback about how the timing, clarity, graphic elements and inclusion of uncertainty information affected their understandings and anticipated responses.
