Abstract

This workshop aimed at giving participants a sense of: forecast uncertainty, high consequence trade-offs, unclear decision thresholds, spatial variability in the forecast, and forecast latency. Participants were meant to take note of the factors influencing decision making, what information they wish they would've had, and certainty levels. Groups were made of different roles---Weather Forecast Office and Emergency Management staffs. They then went through multiple emergency scenarios based upon real historical storms in Hawaii. Participants were given real data and had to make high-pressure decisions. A debrief of the events, roleplaying, data, and questions from above was conducted after each scenario.
