Description:The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Weather Service (NWS) hosted a three-day workshop with 105 emergency managers, broadcast meteorologists, private industry, and social scientists on October 27–29, 2015, at the NWS National Training Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The goals of the workshop were twofold: to develop a set of language-based prototypes that could be tested to replace all or parts of the “Watch,” “Warning,” and “Advisory” (WWA) system that the NWS uses to express forecast water and weather hazards (days one and two); amd to suggest ideas for WWA “fixes” that could clarify/simplify NWS hazard messages—and that could be implemented in the short-term (day three).
