Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
Commerce.
Title: Weather and Society Survey and
Using Quick Response Surveys to Build
a Public Perception and Response
Database.
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (New
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 37,650.
Average Hours per Response:
Longitudinal surveys: .20 minutes; QRS:
10 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 7,140.
Needs and Uses: In alignment with
the Weather Forecasting and Innovation
Act of 2017 (Pub. L. 115–25), two data
collections are proposed under this
request. There are no other collections
for which these can be merged.
The first proposed information
collection request is sponsored by DOC/
NOAA/National Weather Service
(NWS)/Office of Science and
Technology Integration (OSTI).
Currently, NOAA lacks data and data
collection instruments that articulate
and explicate how individuals receive,
interpret, and respond to NOAA
information, forecasts, and warnings for
severe, winter, and tropical weather
hazards. Furthermore, NOAA lacks this
type of data longitudinally (i.e.,
collected over time). Without this type
of longitudinal data, NOAA, and the
NWS specifically, cannot determine if it
has met its mission of saving lives and
property, propose societal impact
performance metrics, nor demonstrate if
progress or improvements have been
made, as outlined in the Weather
Research and Forecasting Innovation
Act of 2017. This effort aims to advance
the Tornado Warning Improvement and
Extension Program (TWIEP)’s goal to
‘‘reduce the loss of life and economic
losses from tornadoes through the
development and extension of accurate,
effective, and timely tornado forecasts,
predictions, and warnings, including
the prediction of tornadoes beyond one
hour in advance (Pub. L. 115–25)’’. This
work addresses NOAA’s 5-year Research
and Development Vision Areas (2020–
2026) Section 1.4 (FACETs). The
Weather and Society Survey also
advances the findings of the National
Academy of Science 2012 report,
‘‘Assessment of the NWS Modernization
Program’’, in reference to NWS’ ‘‘chain
of events associated with a tornado
warning’’ (p52). This effort also
advances the NWS Strategic Plan (2019–
2022) ‘‘Transformative Impact-Based
Decision Support Services (IDSS) and
Research to Operations and Operations
to Research (R2O/O2R). Furthermore,

the Survey furthers the NWS Weather
Ready Nation (WRN) Roadmap (2013)
Sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.8, and
3.1.4.
This information would be collected
at the Cooperative Institute for
Mesoscale Meteorological Studies
(CIMMS) and the University of
Oklahoma’s Center for Risk and Crisis
Management (CRCM), who has
developed data collection instruments
that would allow for more routine and
longitudinal data collection, as the data
will be collected on an annual basis.
Furthermore, this team has developed
interactive ‘‘dashboards’’, or tools, to
visualize the aggregated data.
Respondents include adults (age 18+)
who reside in the United States,
recruited by survey companies that
maintain large panels of people who
sign up to complete internet surveys,
such as Qualtrics and Survey Sampling
International. Respondents will be
asked questions about the ways they
have received, interpreted, and
responded to NWS information,
forecasts, and warnings for severe,
tropical, and winter weather hazards.
Questions about preparedness for
specific hazards such as heat waves,
tornadoes, and drought may also be
included. This data collection serves
many purposes, including gaining a
better understanding of how key factors
within a given population, or
organization, vary over time, location,
and across different groups; the ability
to detect gradual trends or abrupt
changes in those factors over time or in
response to particular events; and the
potential to explore possible
correlations and causal relationships
with other observed variables of
interest. These data will be used by the
OSTI in NWS to develop a baseline and
performance metrics to improve the
information and services it provides and
to help members of the weather
enterprise answer basic questions about
the people in the communities they
serve, which is a necessary step towards
customizing and improving risk
communication, education, and
decision support to meet the
characteristics of the community,
including those in vulnerable
populations. The information collected
will help identify differences and best
practices between communities and
assist NWS in developing new
education and risk communication
strategies. The survey data and its
associated dashboard will serve as
interactive tools to allow NWS
forecasters, partners, and policymakers
to access and explore data for training
and performance evaluation purposes.

The second proposed collection is
sponsored through NOAA’s FY2021
Weather Program Office’s Social Science
Program, and addresses the Social,
Behavioral, and Economic Sciences
(SBES) component of meeting NOAA’s
Research and Development (R&D)
Vision Areas (2020–2026) to integrate
SBES into products, tools, and services
that improve weather and air quality
forecasting and societal outcomes.
This proposal aims to create an online
survey system for collecting data on the
publics’ perception and response to four
different hazards: Tornados,
thunderstorm winds over 70 miles per
hour (mph), flash floods, and winter
weather. The online surveys will be the
building blocks for a multi-year, crosssectional database on human perception
and response. The survey system will
enable individual National Weather
Service Weather Forecast Offices
(WFOs) to disseminate Quick Response
Surveys (QRS) soon after a hazardous
event occurs to collect perishable data
on the publics’ perceptions and
response. Select WFOs will distribute
the QRSs using web links on NWS
social media and core partners’ social
media or email lists. Surveys will ask
the public questions on timing, location,
weather information sources,
motivations and influences for taking
protective action to gain insights into
how NWS warning communications
interact with these factors to result in
protective action behaviors.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. Ch. 111,
Weather Research and Forecasting
Information.
This information collection request
may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view the
Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Find this
particular information collection by
