Workshop Goals
• WARNINGS are relative to IMPACTS
• IMPACTS are relative to the SITUATION
Workshop Goals
• To understand what INFORMATION is needed and in what FORMS to aid all those who need to make DECISIONS.
• To apply the STRAWMAN design to a set of scenarios to yield refined requirements.
• To foster social learning with the FULL SPECTRUM of stakeholders.

Breakout One – Wish Lists• Forecasters
– Integrated Hazard Creation Tool with Recommender– Legacy and new products– Improved and standardized relationships with Partners– Seamless backup
• Partners
– More interaction with forecasters and social scientists– Input into service design– Customized and consistent products– Impact-based information
Breakout Two – Process
• Interaction between all stakeholders
– Before, during, and after event
– Live interaction to get questions answered
– Service Backup to support this interaction as well as products
– Considerations at different temporal scales – 4-6 days prior, 2-3 days prior, day before, day of...
Breakout Three – Database
• Contents– “Threat in motion” -- Hazard information seamless
in space and time– Probabilistic and Impact information– Hazard attributes – spotter reports, calls to action– GIS, situational awareness information
• Access– Both “push” and “pull” customized products– Input and output by all stakeholders
• Framework approach
Next Step Plans
• Implementation Plan• Partner Collaboration Plan• Social Science Collaboration Plan• Refined Requirements submission to PPBES

Build-your-own View
• Unifying WarnGen, GHG, RiverPro does NOT mean crowding everything onto one display at the same time
• Instead – we envision the user (forecaster or partner) building customized Views from the same tool box
– With the ability to display multiple Views at the same time
– And Save and Recall named Views
Ability to Extend and Customize
• Extendable Framework– Complex rules implemented in a scripting language
(e.g. Like Smart Tools and/or iTools)
• Examples:– Customized products for decision makers– Specialized Dialogs for hazard attributes– Point and Areal Flood Warning need to be
disseminated in pairs
Data Repositories(IRIS, GIS, etc.)

Hazard Information ServicesStrawman Implementation Approach
• Hazard Information Services are built to fulfill the requirements for forecaster tools and partner needs.
• They will be built as an extendable framework with services to:
– Allow forecasters to enter and modify short-term, long-term, and hydrological hazard information with a common look and feel through CAVE
– Integrate data from various repositories such as IRIS, GIS, AWIPS II forecaster grids and other hazard information
– View hazard information as a “thin-client” web application available to partners
– Generate text and graphical products in standard and customized formats

IRIS(Hazard info, spotter reports, Calls to Action)
• There will be a Display Interface so that logical operations can flow to and from Cave OR a Web Application.
• Possible roles:
– GSD to work on the Hazard Information Services Framework– IRIS team to gather diverse hazard information and provide external
services such as iNWS– ALL development organizations (GSD, NSSL, OHD, IRIS team, NCEP,
NHC, MDL, etc.) to build services using framework– Forecaster Tools (GSD)– Tornado swaths (NSSL)– ADVISOR (MDL)– Legacy products– Customized products and services
• Iterative, incremental development with rapid feedback from Beta sites
• NSSL Hazardous Weather Tested (HWT) to be used as a testbed
