Abstract

Abstract National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters have many roles and responsibilities, including communication with core partners throughout the forecast and warning process to ensure that the information they are providing is relevant, understandable, and actionable. While the NWS communicates to many groups, members of the emergency management community are among the most critical partners. However, little is known about the diverse population of emergency managers (EMs) and how they receive, process, and use forecast information. The Extreme Weather and Emergency Management Survey (WxEM) aims to fill this knowledge gap by (1) building a nationwide panel of EMs and (2) fielding routine surveys that include questions of relevance to NWS operations. The panel was built by creating a database with contact information from more than 4,000 EMs across the country. An enrollment survey was sent to the list, and over 700 EMs agreed to participate in the project. Following enrollment, WxEM panelists receive surveys that address how EMs use NWS forecast information three to four times a year. These surveys cover a variety of subjects, with the goal of working with other researchers to develop surveys that address their research needs. By collaborating with other research groups to design short, focused surveys, the WxEM project will reduce the research burden on EMs and, at the same time, increase the quality and comparability of research data in the weather enterprise. The results will be shared with the NWS and the research community, and all data gathered from these surveys will be publicly available.

极端天气和应急管理调查
国家气象局(NWS)预报员有许多角色和责任,包括在整个预报和预警过程中与核心合作伙伴进行沟通,以确保他们提供的信息是相关的、可理解的和可操作的。虽然国家气象局与许多团体进行沟通,但应急管理界的成员是最重要的合作伙伴之一。然而,人们对应急管理人员(EMs)的多样性以及他们如何接收、处理和使用预测信息知之甚少。极端天气和应急管理调查(WxEM)旨在通过以下方式填补这一知识空白:(1)建立一个全国性的应急管理小组;(2)开展例行调查,包括与NWS业务相关的问题。该小组是通过创建一个数据库建立的,其中包含来自全国4000多家新兴市场的联系信息。一份登记调查被发送到名单中,超过700个新兴市场同意参与该项目。在登记之后,WxEM小组成员每年会收到三到四次关于新兴市场如何使用NWS预测信息的调查。这些调查涵盖了各种各样的主题,目的是与其他研究人员合作开发调查,以满足他们的研究需求。通过与其他研究小组合作设计简短、重点突出的调查,WxEM项目将减轻em的研究负担,同时提高气象企业研究数据的质量和可比性。调查结果将与美国国家气象局和研究界共享,从这些调查中收集的所有数据都将公开。

期刊介绍: Weather, Climate, and Society (WCAS) publishes research that encompasses economics, policy analysis, political science, history, and institutional, social, and behavioral scholarship relating to weather and climate, including climate change. Contributions must include original social science research, evidence-based analysis, and relevance to the interactions of weather and climate with society.
