This is a new information collection. Each year over 1000 tornadoes affect communities across the United States, yet very little is known about how individuals receive, interpret, and respond to information from NOAA (including weather alerts such as tornado watches and tornado warnings delivered via the NWS) relating to this hazard. In fact, only a small sample of tornadoes ever receive study, and most often those are only the largest tornadoes. No generalizable information on tornado warning response after real-world events exists. The National Weather Service and National Severe Storms This is a new Information Collection Request. Laboratory have designed this data collection instrument to allow for more routine collection of this information. Potential respondents will include any member of the US public that was recently (within the previous 30 days) in or near a tornado. The information would be collected by NWS forecasters using their Damage Assessment Tool (DAT), and also by members of the public who voluntarily access a web tool developed by the National Severe Storms Laboratory.
