Coastal Population Growth Why Are We Here? More than half of the nation's people live in coastal areas, although coastal counties account for only 17 percent of the total acreage of the contiguous United States (report completed for the independent Pew Oceans Commission) Nearly half of the world's population lives within 200 kilometers of a coastline and this number is likely to double by 2025 (Population Reference Bureau) The average population density in coastal areas is about 80 persons per square kilometer, twice the world’s average population density (Population Reference Bureau)

Active hurricane cycle – potential for more devastation –Must be prepared Messages transmitters: –Tropical Prediction Center / National Hurricane Center (TPC/NHC) –Local NWS Weather Forecast Offices –Media –Emergency managers / Decision makers –“Community of Influence” Messages resulting in appropriate response –Must come from credible sources –Must be received –Must be understood –Must have personal meaning –Should include action statements –Often require confirmation –Are only successful if appropriate response is possible “Warning Messages: Improving Response” Why Are We Here?

Purpose of this Training Session Purpose: Provide you specific ideas / concepts on improving response –Implement while you continue to work with constituents within your communities “Warning Messages: Improving Response”
