NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEEKS FEEDBACK ON ADVISORY SYSTEM CHANGES
The National Weather Service (NWS) is seeking public feedback on a proposal to make major changes to its Watch, Warning, and Advisory system, which has been determined by social science research to be confusing to the public.
NWS is proposing to move to a simpler, two-tier system to better communicate when people need to prepare for a possible weather event and when they need to take action.
This handout summarizes the proposed changes. The public survey is available here and will remain open until Friday, August 21, 2020.
