Assignment


Go to the National Hurricane Center’s page http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

This is the ‘official’ page for information regarding any active storm. After you have thoroughly reviewed the contents of this site, answer these questions:

1. Overall, how would you assess the effectiveness of the NHS info for EM Professionals? 

2. Given your answer for question 1, how effective do you feel this page is for the public?  Are those two answers different?  Why?

3. What is this site’s best ‘one glance’ method of conveying information? Why?

4. What do you feel is missing from this site in regards to effective decision making? Imagine you were responsible for ordering evacuations, does this site tell you everything you need to know?
