The National Weather Service (NWS) Hazard Simplification (Haz Simp) Team has proposed major changes to NWS’ watch, warning, and advisory system. The proposals include: expanded use of bullets and plain language in NWS messaging; two-tier watch/warning system better matches the PREPARE or ACT operational structure used by emergency managers for significant events; ability to offer clearer watch/warning/advisory maps; and new statements that would utilize Common Alerting Protocol and Valid Time Event Code for better tracking and machine readability. Make your voice heard by participating in the public survey to solicit feedback that is now open for responses until Aug. 21, 2020. Download a flyer to help promote the survey, and also download this handout that summarizes the proposed changes. NWS also has been holding a series of interactive webinars to communicate changes to NWS partners. Read more about the Haz Simp Project, and direct questions or feedback to hazsimp@noaa.gov.
