  • Lesson 3: Service Design Considerations

    NAVTEXThis lesson focuses on three key elements to consider in service design as outlined in WMO-No. 471: information formats; dissemination options; and consideration of time and area requirements. It also introduces the integration of impact-based forecasting and warning as an integral part of modern services (as referenced in WMO-No. 1150: Guidelines on Multi-hazard Impact-based Forecast and Warning Services) and CAP, the Common Alerting Protocol.

    • Assignment - Multi-hazard, Impacts-based Forecasting Considerations: An effectively implemented, multi-hazard impacts-based forecasting system (MHEWS) is an excellent example of customer-centric service. An impact-based approach puts the customer's needs front and center. It takes into account how, when, and where weather events will impact customer activities and well-being. Integrating MHEWS into all NMHSs is a goal of the WMO as a means to save lives and property.

    • Assignment - Common Alerting Protocol (CAP): The Common Alerting Protocol provides a standard for issuing and receiving alert messages. It is used by many emergency response and forecasting agencies worldwide. Watch a video that introduces CAP and investigate whether CAP is already implemented at your NMHS and partner agencies.
