Description:This interdisciplinary research project seeks to advance the understanding and execution of Impact-Based Decision Support Services (IDSS) at the National Weather Service (NWS). This project will establish a baseline of IDSS performance to assess implementation across NWS and the inclusion of cultural dimensions in engagement with emergency managers (EMs). The objectives of this project are: (1) define how Meteorologist in Charge, Hydrologist in Charge, Warning Coordination Meteorologist, and Service Coordination Hydrologist operationalize IDSS; (2) assess how IDSS is performed at different NWS organizational levels (e.g., national, regional) and by weather event; and (3) assess how EMs’ awareness of the needs of their communities and cultural dimensions guide the provision of IDSS. This project will follow the procedures of a multi-phased study using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach that includes the collection of both qualitative and quantitative data. Results of this work will support developing the infrastructure for IDSS, enhancing training materials, and supplementing current IDSS initiatives. Findings will also provide the NWS with best practices to consider cultural dimension in the provision of IDSS. The project also has implications for moving findings from research to NWS management and operations by providing a framework to determine a benchmark for IDSS consistency, identify best practices, and present recommendations to increase the efficiency and uniformity of IDSS.
