A Survey For You to Complete

From John DeBlock at the National Weather Service in Birmingham:

Prior to our IWT meeting on June 25th, Dr. Laura Myers, Social Scientist, will be conducting numerous electronic surveys concerning the Alabama winter weather events with EMA, media and the general public.  In addition, she will also conduct a number of in-depth interviews with EMA officials and Television meteorologists.

Dr. Myers works with the weather enterprise to support weather warning research efforts in the Southeast. She serves on multiple Integrated Warning Teams and conducts research studies and research applications on the weather warning process. She has developed research studies including: a study for the National Weather Association on the April 27th storm survivors’ perceptions of the weather warning process; a study of Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee residents and their perceptions of the weather warning process; a study of the weather warning process for mass population venues; and the development of a population assessment tool for determining how to reach vulnerable populations with the weather warning process.  Her work for the past winter events will help all of us gain understanding on how multiple population segments both understand and utilize weather information.

Here is the link to the survey.

Please complete it to help us obtain public perception about the 2014 winter weather events. The findings will undoubtedly make our IWT meeting more interesting and informative!
