Hello, The National Weather Service is seeking input on a proposed change to how we provide alerts. The goal is to simplify our suite of Watch/Warning/Advisories by doing away with virtually all the advisories and communicating through a statement that focuses on impacts. You may have had an opportunity to take a survey as an emergency manager or other stakeholder, and now a survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/publichazsimp>is open to the entire public. You can access the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/publichazsimp. I’m asking that you participate in this survey, and more importantly share with others in your network. Do you have an email list, newsletter, blog or community newspaper? Here’s some sample language you can use: The National Weather Service is proposing changes to make alerts simpler and more useful! The current system of numerous Watches, Warnings, and Advisories can be confusing, and a proposed simplification is based on years of social science research. Learn more about a proposal to simplify our alerts, and take our brief survey to let us know what you think!
