National Weather Service Watch, Warning and Advisory Survey for Decision Makers

NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) is conducting a survey that is gauging how decision makers, such as executives and managers in the construction industry, use NWS watches, warnings, and advisories. Your feedback will play an important role in any decisions on how to improve NWS hazard messages. This survey is part of the NWS Hazard Simplification Project, which is analyzing the use and effectiveness of NWS watches, warnings, and advisories, and evaluating possible alternatives to these terms. The survey will assess the extent to which organizations (at all levels and in various sectors) have formally incorporated watches, warnings, and advisories into their decision-making processes via policies, protocols, laws, etc. For instance, are there construction companies with a written policy that says if a Tornado Watch is issued, then XYZ needs to happen? This survey will close after Oct. 31, 2016. To take the survey, click here.
