National Weather Service Materials

This information has been developed specifically for use with medical/public health communities.  It is intended a basic introduction to uses of hurricane forecasts and follow-up with a NWS meteorologist is highly recommended. The objective is to help medical participants identify/interpret useful NWS hurricane information in empowering decisions and prevent crisis at each stage of hurricane preparedness. If participants need further assistance with interpreting weather information they are welcome to contact me and I will direct them to our research meteorologist, John Gaynor or a Warning Coordination Meteorologist (WCM) in their area. The WCM may also be contacted directly at any of our local Weather Forecast Offices (WFO's) around the country.
