1 American Meteorological Society
Disaster Prevention, Mitigation, and Adaptation Second Global Meeting of the International Forum of Meteorological Societies Mr. John E. Jones, Jr. Deputy Director, US National Weather Service (Retired) November 3, 2011

2 The American Meteorological Society (AMS) promotes the development and dissemination of information and education on the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences and the advancement of their professional applications.

3 AMS is an organization that supports its 14,000 members, the science, and the world’s population to better understand how the interaction between earth, land, and sea can impact any person in the world. Through AMS sponsored conferences and meetings, colleagues from around the world share research, new technology, and forecasting techniques. Information is shared that can be used to better understand and forecast phenomenon that cause disasters. Ideas on how to better communicate disaster information is also exchanged.

4 AMS represents all 3 parts of the scientific community – academic, private, and public. A large part of the private sector is broadcast meteorologists. Each year the Broadcast Conference is devoted to how broadcasters can improve their efforts to better prepare the populations in their communities for potential disasters (and not just weather disasters, but also things like earthquakes, which typically fall to the broadcast met), and also how they can improve their reach and effectiveness when a disaster is unfolding in terms of warnings and safety advice. Broadcast meteorologists are thought of as the "Station Scientist."
