Description:The NWS has embarked on an effort to simplify and enhance its watch, warning, and advisory (WWA) products, since both prior social science research and NWS service assessments have demonstrated that many members of the public, and even some NWS partners, do not understand the distinctions among the terms used in the different WWA products or their intent. Since 2013, ERG has supported the NWS in conducting a coordinated plan of research (see Figure ES-1) to assess the current WWA warning system and discern where change could be feasible and beneficial. This report summarizes ERG’s work at implementing one aspect of this coordinated plan: a series of public surveys to assess the current system relative to a set of potential new messages to convey weather-related risks to the public.
