Bad Things Happen: Teaching about Hazardous Weather Dr. Michael J. Passow AMS Peer Trainer STAO 2004

Hazardous Weather is Everywhere! Thunderstorms, Lightning Strikes, Hail Winter Storms and Blizzards Lake Effect Snows Tornadoes Flash Floods Heat Waves and Droughts Wildfires Hurricanes and Nor’Easters Severe local weather conditions (e.g.: chinooks, temperature inversions)

Impacts of Hazardous Weather Dangers to people and animals --immediate injuries and deaths --long-term health damage Dangers to property and services Economic impact from lost work/learning time

Necessity for Emergency Plans Community services Family planning School response planning How well could your school system handle hazardous weather conditions?

Before you take any action, you need to know it’s time to take action! From where do you get your weather information? How timely and accurate? Looking out your window? TV and radio weather? Meteorological Service of Canada

How Does MSC Monitor Weather? Local instrumentation—manual and/or automated Weather Radar Weather Satellites Geostationary Polar-Orbiting (especially useful for sea ice conditions) International WX networks

Educational Resources American Meteorological Society Education Progam Project Atmosphere – Summer Teacher Professional Development at the NWS Training Center, Kansas City, MO DataStreme Atmosphere Water in the Earth System (WES)

Project Atmosphere Canada Developed by Environment Canada and Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society in cooperation with the AMS 14 online modules (English/Français)
