Tonight’s WeatherBrains is a special show regarding the NWS’s Hazard Simplification Program or “Haz Simp”. This program has been around for a couple of years and is designed to potentially redesign and reinvigorate the National Weather Service Watch/Warning/Advisory system.
Our Guest WeatherBrain this week is a Social Science Researcher and Project Manager for Haz Simp along with Eli Jacks of the NWS. Her background is in meteorology, but her PhD program is interdisciplinary with a focus on sociology of disasters and risk communication. Danielle Nagele, welcome to WeatherBrains!
Guest Panelist this week is soon-to-be graduating meteorology student from the University of Oklahoma. Jordan Overton, welcome to the show!
Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:
Are “certain death” messages counter-productive?
Why can’t the general public find their house on a map?
Kim’s analysis on the March 3rd, 2019 F4 tornado in Lee County AL
The Astronomy Report from Tony Rice
and more!
Our email bag officer is continuing to handle the incoming messages from our listeners.
