Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical storms and hurricanes have caused extensive casualties and damage in past decades. Recent data indicate that the annual losses from hurricanes are increasing, partly because the U.S. coastal population has increased significantly in the past 20 years. Moreover, the housing values in these areas have increased as well. Thus, population and economic growth in the vulnerable coastal areas have made hurricanes a serious problem and created the potential for a catastrophic loss of life. The existing research literature lacks a sufficient scientific understanding of hurricane information searching and dynamic protective action decision making during events in which additional information becomes available over time. The hurricane evacuation decision context is well understood; the National Hurricane Center (NHC) issues hurricane forecast advisories every 6 hours until a hurricane turns into a tropical depression. Emergency managers and residents in the risk area are most likely to make decisions on their protective actions based on these hurricane forecast advisories. Therefore, this study uses the DynaSearch program to conduct a computer-based experiment that examines hurricane information search pattern by students playing the roles of county emergency managers, their understanding of hurricane strike probabilities and their choices of protective action recommendations during four different hurricane scenarios. This study simulates the approach of a hurricane by providing experiment participants a sequence of hurricane forecast advisories and examining how they search for information, change their threat perceptions and implement protective actions over time. The results show that (1) People prefer graphic information (especially the forecast track and uncertainty cone) over numeric and text information about hurricanes; (2) hurricane intensity was the parameter that was most commonly viewed and hurricane wind radius was the parameter that was least commonly viewed; (3)forecast track had a large number of clicks and long click durations, whereas uncertainty cone had fewer clicks but longer click durations; (4) participants' judgments of the extent to which they used each of the parameters were not entirely consistent with their search patterns; (5) participants found a hurricane's current location and day-5 forecast were the most informative time periods; (6) there was no evidence that participants' personal concern (whether a hurricane will head toward to their county or not) affected their information search pattern in this study; (7) participants failed to evacuate appropriate risk areas in timely manner; and (8) participants had difficulty interpreting strike probabilities. These results suggest the problem of misinterpretation of the uncertainty cone is less severe than some might have concluded from the evidence provided by Broad et al. (2007). Moreover, the results suggest that participants were able to utilize the available information in the tables and tracking maps to make reasonable judgments about each city's relative strike probability. However, their failure to take appropriate actions suggests a need for more comprehensive training on what actions to take in response to the hurricane information displays.

Download or read book 2017 National Hurricane Operations Plan written by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This official guide from NOAA, released in late 2017, provides authoritative and up-to-date information about all aspects of hurricane forecasting and warnings, with material of keen interest to both emergency managers and weather geeks. The tropical cyclone warning service is an interdepartmental effort to provide the United States and designated international recipients with forecasts, warnings, and assessments concerning tropical and subtropical weather systems. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the Department of Commerce (DOC) is responsible for providing forecasts and warnings for the Atlantic and Eastern and Central Pacific Oceans while the Department of Defense (DOD) provides the same services for the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. NOAA, along with other Federal agencies such as the U.S. Navy and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), also conducts supporting research efforts to improve tropical cyclone forecasting and warning services. The bottom line-this interdepartmental cooperation achieves economy and efficiency in the provision of the tropical cyclone forecasting and warning services to the Nation. The National Hurricane Operations Plan provides the basis for implementing agreements reached at the Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference (IHC), which is sponsored annually by the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research. The goal of the IHC is to bring together the responsible Federal agencies to achieve agreement on items of mutual concern related to tropical cyclone forecasting and warning services for the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The procedures and agreements contained herein apply to the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and the Pacific Ocean. The plan defines the roles of individual agencies, participating in the tropical cyclone forecasting and warning program when more than one agency is involved in the delivery of service in any specific area. When a single agency is involved in any specific area, that agency's procedures should be contained in internal documents and, to the extent possible, be consistent with NHOP practices and procedures.
