NWS specifically, cannot determine if it has met its mission of saving lives and property, propose societal impact performance metrics, nor demonstrate if progress or improvements have been made, as outlined in the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017. This effort aims to advance the Tornado Warning Improvement and Extension Program TWIEPs goal to reduce the loss of life and economic losses from tornadoes through the development and extension of accurate, effective, and timely tornado forecasts, predictions, and warnings, including the prediction of tornadoes beyond one hour in advance Pub. L. 11525. This work addresses NOAAs 5-year Research and Development Vision Areas 2020
2026 Section 1.4 FACETs. The Weather and Society Survey also advances the findings of the National Academy of Science 2012 report, Assessment of the NWS Modernization Program, in reference to NWS chain of events associated with a tornado warning p52. This effort also advances the NWS Strategic Plan 2019
2022 Transformative Impact-Based Decision Support Services IDSS and Research to Operations and Operations to Research R2O/O2R. Furthermore, the Survey furthers the NWS Weather Ready Nation WRN Roadmap 2013
Sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.8, and 3.1.4.
This information would be collected at the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies CIMMS and the University of Oklahomas Center for Risk and Crisis Management CRCM, who has developed data collection instruments that would allow for more routine and longitudinal data collection, as the data will be collected on an annual basis.
Furthermore, this team has developed interactive dashboards, or tools, to visualize the aggregated data.
Respondents include adults age 18+
who reside in the United States, recruited by survey companies that maintain large panels of people who sign up to complete internet surveys, such as Qualtrics and Survey Sampling International. Respondents will be asked questions about the ways they have received, interpreted, and responded to NWS information, forecasts, and warnings for severe, tropical, and winter weather hazards.
Questions about preparedness for specific hazards such as heat waves, tornadoes, and drought may also be included. This data collection serves many purposes, including gaining a better understanding of how key factors within a given population, or organization, vary over time, location,

and across different groups; the ability to detect gradual trends or abrupt changes in those factors over time or in response to particular events; and the potential to explore possible correlations and causal relationships with other observed variables of interest. These data will be used by the OSTI in NWS to develop a baseline and performance metrics to improve the information and services it provides and to help members of the weather enterprise answer basic questions about the people in the communities they serve, which is a necessary step towards customizing and improving risk communication, education, and decision support to meet the characteristics of the community, including those in vulnerable populations. The information collected will help identify differences and best practices between communities and assist NWS in developing new education and risk communication strategies. The survey data and its associated dashboard will serve as interactive tools to allow NWS
forecasters, partners, and policymakers to access and explore data for training and performance evaluation purposes.
II. Method of Collection The primary method of data collection will be a web-based survey interface. Specific questions in the surveys determine how members of the U.S. public receive, comprehend, and respond to severe, tropical, and winter weather related information.
Furthermore, these survey items will be translated to Spanish.
