Public Information Statement
Statement as of 2:18 PM EDT on March 15, 2010
... This week is severe weather preparedness week in Indiana... ... Severe weather awareness month continues in Kentucky... .
Long before any warnings are issued... the National Weather Service provides long range notice of potential for severe weather. Likewise our partners... the media... public officials and response agencies... begin preparations long before storms cause damage.
Here is a list of what we all do at the outlook stage.
The National Weather Service climate prediction center provides hazard threat outlooks up to 14 days in advance. The Storm Prediction Center provides outlooks on severe thunderstorm potential up to eight days in advance. Local weather offices issue a hazardous weather outlook each day identifying weather risks in the coming week.
Weather hazard outlooks provide everyone with a time frame to plan ahead and to check resources.
Local TV meteorologists begin broadcasting concerns for any severe weather threat up to a week in advance. The meteorologists keep their news staff informed of storms that may become headline stories later in the week. The news staff then develops staffing plans for field news crews.
Homeland security... emergency management and Highway departments monitor National Weather Service outlooks to determine the need for hazard preparations. Should severe weather be a threat later in the week... staffing and supplies are checked for adequacy.
The American Red Cross monitors National Weather Service outlooks to determine a need for hazard preparations. Should severe weather become a possibility... staffing and supply levels are checked.
Schools..law enforcement and fire departments monitor National Weather Service outlooks to determine their need for preparations. Staffing and supplies are again checked for adequacy.
Your job is to monitor National Weather Service outlooks to determine your need for hazard preparations. Should severe weather be a threat later in the week... make sure you have checked that you have all the supplies you would need for an emergency. Review your safety evacuations plans to make sure you have a safe location to go to should severe weather occur.
Again at the outlook stage for severe weather... it is a time frame to begin reviewing your plans and to begin paying closer attention to daily weather forecasts and the severe weather threat in particular.
