"The devastating tornadoes that struck central Florida the night of February 22-23, 1998, resulted in a decision by the National Weather Service (NWS) to conduct a Service Assessment. Service Assessments and their subsequent reports are used by the NWS to examine the performance of its offices in providing timely warnings, accurate forecasts and other services to enable the public to minimize loss of life and property damage. The findings and recommendations developed by the Service Assessment Team will be incorporated into the ongoing process of improving NWS products and services to the citizens of the Nation"--Preface.
