Agency Information Collection
Activities; Submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Tornado Watch/Warning
Post-Event Evaluation
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 February
9th, 2024 during a 60-day comment
period. This notice allows for an
additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
Commerce.
Title: Tornado Watch/Warning PostEvent Evaluation.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0797.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission:
revision.
Number of Respondents: Surveys:
1,200, Interviews: 50.

Average Hours per Response: Surveys:

Needs and Uses: Each year over 1000
tornadoes affect communities across the
United States, yet little is known about
how individuals receive, interpret, and
respond to information from NOAA
relating to this hazard. In fact, only a
small sample of tornadoes ever receive
study, and most often those are only the
most violent tornadoes. No
generalizable, or even relatively largescale information on tornado forecast
and warning response after real-world
events exists. The NOAA National
Weather Service (NWS) and National
Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL)
designed the data collection instrument
to allow for more routine collection of
this information. Respondents include
members of the United States public
who have been in or near a tornado,
received a tornado warning, or were in
or near a strong storm that made them
concerned about tornadoes. They
answer questions about the ways they
received, understood, and responded to
information about the event, including
NWS watch and warning information.
This survey is delivered through a web
application hosted by NSSL called
Tornado Tales, available online at
https://inside.nssl.noaa.gov/tornadotales/.
After approval of our initial data
collection instrument (that shown on
the website), the OU Cooperative
Institute for Severe and High-Impact
Weather Research and Operations
(CIWRO) and NOAA NSSL Behavioral
Insights Unit carried out post-event data
collections for multiple tornado events,
validating the questions and identifying
issues for improvement. This fieldwork
led to several needed improvements,
including the addition of questions
about the event more broadly, changing
some response types, rephrasing some
questions that were interpreted too
broadly, and including questions about
efficacy and the availability of forecast
information to individuals. While the
revisions have added questions to the
survey, their improved clarity should
allow for faster response times per
question. We estimate the time to
complete the survey is five to ten
minutes on average. Subject recruitment
will primarily be done by NOAA NSSL
and its partners advertising the survey
via websites and social media outlets. In
addition to these efforts, there is also the
possibility that during post-storm
damage assessment activities NWS
forecasters may direct impacted

individuals to the Tornado Tales
website.
In addition to the changes to the
survey instrument, researchers at NOAA
NSSL and at the OU CIWRO Behavioral
Insights Unit would like to conduct
interviews with emergency managers,
broadcast meteorologists, and members
of the public after certain tornado
events. These more in-depth interviews
will collect similar information to the
survey instrument from members of the
public, broadcast meteorologists, and
Emergency Management personnel who
recently experienced a tornado event.
The interviews will walk respondents
through a timeline of events leading up
to the tornado event. Researchers will
use a skip-logic approach, meaning
participants will only answer questions
about the time periods relevant to their
personal experience. The purpose of
these interviews will be to more
thoroughly explore how residents,
broadcast meteorologists, and
Emergency Managers received,
understood, and responded to tornado
forecasts and warnings. Given the inperson nature of these interviews, we
expect them to take between 15 and 30
minutes on average.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: N/A.
