This project features a multi-departmental collaboration with The University of Miami (UM), the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), NOAA National Weather Service, and NOAA Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. This two-year, mixed-methods, multi-sample project seeks to develop a translatable process for NOAA to harness public feedback, rethink and redesign weather risk graphics for different types of weather events with multiple co-occurring hazards, and evaluate these new visualizations. The long-term benefit to society includes improved abilities for publics to make decisions ahead of approaching weather events with multiple hazards via graphical products that are easy to use and understand.
