Ever wondered how a weather forecast is used by decision-makers? This interactive session will introduce students to the concept of Integrated Warning Teams, or the individuals and organizations responsible for providing consistent and clear hazardous weather communication before, during, and after a disaster. Student participants will work with operational meteorologists, emergency managers, local government officials, and broadcast meteorologists through a tabletop exercise centering around a weather event in the Baltimore area.
