March 7, Supporting Physical and Social Science Integration: Storm Surge Jennifer Sprague National Weather Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

The Communication Quandary 2 Storm Surge – The threat is complex and difficult to communicate!

HFIP Socio-Economic Working Group Co-Lead by NHC Director Rick Knabb & Jennifer Sprague Members: –NHC: Edward Rappaport, Jamie Rhome & Robbie Berg –NWS WFOs: Lance Wood (WFO Texas), Hendricus Lofus (WFO CT) –FEMA: Matthew Green (FEMA Liaison at NHC) –State/Local Emergency Managers: Chuck Lanza (FL), Mike Sprayberry (NC), Christopher Moore (TX), –Social Scientist: Hugh Gladwin –Media: Vacant –Private Sector: Karen Townsend (HURREVAC) 3

Surge Social Science Strategy Assess Public Need Phase 1 (TC) and Phase 2 (ET) Lazo & Morrow: interviews, focus groups, public surveys NOS/CSP Assess Partner Needs Phase 3 Lazo & Morrow: media web interviews and online survey NOS/CSP & CSDL Decision Support for EMs WxEM – Tropical use case in NC RENCI, UNC-CH, ECU: multiple methods to assess EMs NWS/OST Product Prototyping and Evaluation Phase 4 (TC): Inundation graphic, Storm Surge watch/warning ERG: prototype evaluations via interviews, focus groups, public surveys NWS/HFIP Experimental Products season Inundation graphic, storm surge watch/warning Operational Products season Inundation graphic, storm surge watch/warning Irene Service Assessment UCAR Community Advisory Committee NWS/NCEP Marketing and Outreach Integrating new products NOS/CSC

Assessing Current Storm Surge Information People’s Understanding of Hazard & Partner Needs Phase 1: Tropical –Results show people do not understand surge or its risk, and want some type of further information Phase 2: Extratropical –Uses EM interviews, focus groups, online survey Phase 3: Partner needs –Focuses on broadcast meteorologists’ perceived needs, constraints, and possibilities for new/additional storm surge information

WxEM: Decision Support for Emergency Managers (EMs) EMs desire a locally relevant inundation graphic EMs prefer a range of scenarios versus probability plots EMs desire surge predictions earlier (i.e., 72 hrs or more before TC landfall) –Modeling enhancement needed

Product Prototyping & Evaluation NHC hired GIS expert to develop inundation graphic prototypes Social scientists are evaluating prototypes –Interviews, focus groups, surveys of EMs and public –Prototypes included in broadcast met survey from partner needs project –Public survey imminent

Cartographic of Inundation Graphics Small project to apply and evaluate cartographic techniques to inundation graphics –Advice on appearance and color scheme –Survey of coastal residents –Eye-tracking analysis of prototype graphics provided by NHC Results showed preference for an inundation graphic with a range of colors and a scale of descriptive words (low, med, hi, extreme)

FY12 – Storm Surge Marketing Plan CSC leading effort via IDIQ contract process Develop a marketing plan for NHC and WFO meteorologists to help EMs and broadcast mets accurately explain storm surge risk to their audiences –Understand how information flows between NHC/WFOs and EMs and broadcast meteorologists, and their target audiences, and the roles of each in risk communication –Develop marketing plan for NWS and its downstream audiences

Success Story Physical & Social Science Integration Holistic Approach Wide Collaboration Across NOAA
