[Emwin_conference] Input requested - Interactive webinars on NWS products
by Greg Hanson - NWS Federal
Hello, apologies if you're seeing this twice but cross-posting for wider
distribution. I am writing to ask you to participate in a webinar to gather
feedback on changes to how the NWS communicates weather information.
The NWS is proposing to streamline and simplify our Watch/Warning Advisory
system by eliminating all Advisory, Special Weather Statement (SPS), and
Short Term Forecast (NOW) headlines. All the sub Watch/Warning level
information would be conveyed in a single plain-language statement. You can
view a 1-page document describing the changes here
<https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/ref/Hazard_Simplification_Prop...>
.
NWS Headquarters has scheduled a series of interactive Partner Webinars to
present these proposed changes and collect feedback. I ask that you
participate in one of them. ALL NWS partners and key stakeholders are
welcome to attend these webinars. The general public will be polled
separately as the third and final piece of this feedback process via a
public survey.
There are 5 webinars for partners to choose from, each of which will cover
the same material:
