Every year the United States experiences more
severe weather than any other country in the world.
In order to reduce deaths, injuries, and property
losses, emergency managers must work closely with
the NWS and the news media to provide effective
warnings that can be received and understood
by people at risk. This course is intended to help
facilitate that process.
Course topics include The Social Dimensions of
Warning Response; Developing Effective Warning
Messages; Developing an Effective Community
Warning Process; and Working with the News Media
to Create a Weather Warning Partnership. In addition
to lecture and discussion, the course includes case
studies, exercises, and an opportunity for interaction
with representatives of the local news media.
Selection Criteria: Intended for local emergency managers.
