University of Georgia Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant is working with researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Research to better understand how to communicate hurricane risks so that the public will take necessary precautions before a storm.

Located at the NWC on the UA campus in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Bareford will work with community stakeholders and partners to understand what information they need to make the best decisions possible.

As part of a growing effort for collaboration between the National Weather Service and Sea Grant, NOAA will hire an Integrated Water Extension Liaison housed at the National Water Center.

Sea Grant enhances the mission of the National Weather Service by informing communication and educating the public on weather hazards.

Wisconsin Sea Grant worked with the National Weather Service to evaluate a new tornado risk communication tool.
