The local EWX Integrated Warning Team (IWT) brings together emergency managers, broadcast and print media, amateur radio network controllers, government and special district officials, and the National Weather Service with the goal of finding the best ways to communicate a consistent warning message during an event.
Post-event studies of high-impact weather events have shown that coordinated actions of an IWT play an important role in achieving a favorable public response. Bringing NWS, EMs, and broadcast media together with other partners in the same room to discuss best practices and challenges not only lays the foundation for improved relationships between members of the IWT, but helps us to all understand how the public we serve responds to our services.
IWT workshop registration is set up through invitation. For more information, please contact paul.yura@noaa.gov. Additional workshop areas are planned as well.
