Webinar Title: When Minutes Matter: Public Alert and Warning Communications
Description: The field of alerts and warnings (A&W) is rapidly evolving with advances in technology, increasing use of social media, new social science research into effective message design, and public expectations of warning services. Emergency managers and community officials must constantly look to update their A&W capabilities, processes, and messages. Participants will consider strategies to:
o Reduce process delays in issuing A&W messages.
o Maximize message delivery to the public.
o Create research-based A&W messages that will move individuals to take protective action.
