Description:This project will identify, develop, and test new metrics that measure the effectiveness of Impact-Based Decision Support Services (IDSS) with NWS core partners by creating the Extreme Weather and Emergency Management Survey (WxEm Survey). The WxEm Survey will implement a yearly survey of the emergency management community (EMs) to provide longitudinal data on how EMs use NOAA/NWS data, products, information, and decision support when responding to high impact weather events. Data from the WxEm Survey will allow the project team to develop composite metrics that provide direct information to forecasters at WFOs about the most effective way to structure IDSS communication and feedback to administrators in the NWS about how to improve IDSS programs in the future. Additionally, the research team will create an interactive platform the members of the forecast community can use to better understand their respective audiences. The WxEm Survey and interactive platform will function alongside the Extreme Weather and Society (WxSoc) Survey and interactive platform (WxDash), which currently provide longitudinal data on how members of the public use NOAA/NWS data and products when responding to high impact weather events. This project will benefit society by providing systematic information about how EMs use NOAA/NWS data, products, information, and decision support when responding to high impact weather events. This information will provide invaluable feedback that will improve NWS IDSS and, consequently, public and economic security.
