High Impact Event Review Process NOAA/NWS Glasgow, MT - Steven L. Apfel, Meteorologist-In-Charge A HIGH IMPACT EVENT (HIE) is a locally significant event where the community, local customer, or an economic sector is substantially affected and/or mitigating actions are necessary; and the opportunity exists for the NWS to take a DECISION SUPPORT ACTION (DSA). A DECISION SUPPORT ACTION (DSA) occurs when the NWS takes an active role to enhance NWS products/services for use by decision makers during HIEs, such as: - Changing priority focus - Redirecting (ramping up) operations - Initiating briefings (GoToMeetings/Outreach) - Above and beyond daily routine (but a part of office culture) • Active Decision Supportrequires moving beyond the static post mortem process to a dynamic event review process from start to finish: • HIE Coordination: How did we prepare and coordinate? GoToMeetings, E-mail, Text, Phone • HIE Post Review: What was our scientific process? Active Post Mortems, Science Sharing • HIE Feedback: What did our partners & customers think? Surveys, Comments, Suggestions • HIE Report: DSS effectiveness? How did we do? “Start to Finish” Review Meeting with the Staff • HIE Collaboration: Share, Learn, Improve: For All “Every day we all seem to become more dependent on what we sometimes take for granted, electricity. Different weather events dictate different special purpose vehicle, equipment, & personnel be availability & ready to respond. Your reports are another tool in our bag of tricks to keep our transmission system one of the most reliable in the world.” Larry Hoyer Montana Maintenance Office DOE – Western Area Power Authority “You called it!!!!! A few of the many pictures taken. In our south pasture the wind did clear quite a bit of country for future grazing. Thanks for keeping us all informed, you don't realize how valuable we all feel you and the Glasgow crew are. Thanks” Brent (former county commissioner in Garfield County, MT) DSS Quotes HIE Post Review Template Sample HIE Report Overview Collaboration is the Key!! HIE Reviews HIE Post Review Intranet Page
