Explore evolving challenges and opportunities with communication from the Weather Enterprise to users found during recent extreme weather events – flash floods, snow squalls, wildfires, last year’s hurricane season, recent winter storms etc. How can we channel these learnings to improve communication of impacts for future events in today’s world of rapid technology change? How do we focus our communications to get people to take action when needed – connecting to various communities? How do we convey confidence information?
