Request; Improving Knowledge About
NWS Forecaster Core Partner Needs
for Reducing Vulnerability to
Compound Threats in Landfalling
Tropical Cyclones Amid Covid–19
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on July 19,
2022 (87 FR 43005) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for
an additional 30 days for public
comments.

Title: Improving Knowledge About
NWS Forecaster Core Partner Needs for
Reducing Vulnerability to Compound
Threats in Landfalling Tropical
Cyclones Amid Covid–19.
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 35.
Average Hours per Response: 1 hour.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 35
hours.
Needs and Uses: The data collection
is sponsored by DOC/NOAA/National
Weather Service (NWS)/Office of
Science and Technology Integration
(OSTI). Compound hazards, like
tornadoes and flash floods (called
TORFFs), are a significant issue for risk
communication and are common in
landfalling tropical cyclones. Currently,
NOAA lacks data and data collection

instruments that articulate and explain
how emergency managers and broadcast
meteorologists receive, interpret, and
respond to NWS prediction information
about these compound hazards before
and during landfalling tropical
cyclones, like Hurricane Ida.
Furthermore, NOAA lacks adequate
knowledge about how these risks are
best communicated during pandemics
such as COVID–19, when it is important
for those who are most vulnerable to
adjudicate their risks of exposure to
both severe weather and COVID–19.
Such knowledge about compound
weather hazards would be particularly
useful for NWS forecasters who
communicate risk information to their
colleagues in emergency management
and broadcast meteorology (hereafter
‘‘partners’’), especially when
information about sheltering practices,
evacuation, and vulnerability can be
complicated by exposure to public
health threats and bilingual needs.
Semi-structured interviews will be
conducted with partners in local areas
impacted by recent hurricanes with
embedded TORFF hazards, such as
Hurricane Ida and its remnants. Semistructured interview data will be
collected on a one-off basis and will be
conducted either virtually or in-person
(COVID–19 restriction dependent).
Specific questions in the interview
guide determine how partners attend to,
prioritize, and communicate
information related to compound wind
and water threats before and during
landfalling tropical cyclones or
hurricanes.
The interviews will be conducted by
researchers at Texas Tech University’s
Risk and Equity in Disasters (RED) Lab
and at Texas A&M. They have begun to
develop data collection instruments that
will allow them to gather risk
information. These instruments are
being created in collaboration with
experts in emergency management and
broadcast meteorology through the
Board on Emergency Management and
the Board on Professional Development
within the American Meteorological
Society. This helps assure the
appropriateness of questions relative to
different decision spaces, job roles, and
communication processes.
This data collection serves many
purposes, including building knowledge
of how partners attend to, make sense
of, and communicate compound
hazards, as well as challenges they face
in identifying vulnerable populations to
severe weather in the context of COVID–
19. These data will be reported in
aggregate when possible and findings
will be used by the NWS training
centers in Norman, OK, and Kansas

City, MO, to inform their practices for
Impact-Based Decision Support Services
(IDSS) and to improve the information
and services it provides to members of
the Weather Enterprise. Importantly,
data collected will help assist NWS in
developing new forecaster training
modules, situational awareness
information, and best practices for
Impact-Based Decision Support with
partners. This is a necessary step in
improving risk communication among
expert groups, which, in turn, benefits
vulnerable populations who ultimately
must act quickly and safely to
adjudicate which risks pose the greatest
threat to them as the threats evolve. Data
collected from both populations will
also be used for the practical utility of
the government through semi-annual
reports to NOAA to evaluate proposed
metrics of success for completing the
grant relative to progress to data.
Conference presentations about findings
will be made to the American
Meteorological Society, National
Weather Association, and related
emergency manager conferences;
webinars of best practices and
situational awareness opportunities to
partner or NWS offices; and insights
about the challenges of communicating
and preparing the public for compound
hazards reported to peer reviewed
publications in professional journals.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; State, Local, or
Tribal government; Federal government.
Frequency: One time.
