However, the content and focus of the presentations will continue to be geared toward emergency managers, weather enthusiasts, teachers, students, meteorologists, broadcasters, and those representing the insurance industry. NOAA and its partners in the local AMS/NWA Chapter and the Oklahoma Emergency Management Association are continuing to work together to develop the agenda for the 2013 National Severe Weather Workshop at the National Tornado Summit.

The idea is to try a “Look Back” and a “Look Ahead” character to the workshop. This would probably allow for a full day of talks on Thursday and then some really interesting discussions and presentations on Friday when we will spend some time investigating the programs and policies that will move us toward improved weather forecasts and response.

Keep checking back as the agenda continues to be developed in the weeks ahead. And, if you’ve got an idea on how to improve or participate in the next National Severe Weather Workshop, please drop us an e-mail!

Happy Thanksgiving!
