Episode 18: The Future of NOAA Weather Radio (w/ Dr. Tyra Brown & Dr. Laura Myers)

Welcome to WeatherHype! This week on the podcast, we are joined by Dr. Tyra Brown and Dr. Laura Myers to talk all about NOAA Weather Radio. We start off by providing a brief overview of the current product, where you can find it, and the challenges of the current system. We then move into discussing the three phases of the new project, and elaborate on the results from Phase 1: Stakeholder Engagement. We answer two big questions: what stakeholders did they engage, and what were some of the takeaways from the project? Then our guests weigh in on the future of NOAA Weather Radio, and examine some exciting prospects for integrating new technology with the NOAA Weather Radio. The future of NOAA Weather Radio is bright with potential paths including: Geo-tagging, reducing the general public's perception of false alarms, and even providing all-clear notifications. We even sneak in a question about the NOAA Weather Radio voice! Stay tuned, because all of this is coming up next on WeatherHype! To view the links discussed during this episode, please visit: http://www.weatherhypepodcast.com/episode-18.html Modifications were made for Introduction and transition music "Baby, I'm Bad Weather" by Toussaint Morrison: creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ and "Something Elated" by Broke for Free: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/nl/
