NWS central region service assessment Joplin, Missouri, tornado – May 22, 2011


This regional service assessment examines warning and forecast services provided by the National Weather Service (NWS). Furthermore, because of the large number of fatalities that resulted from a warned tornado event, it also provides additional focus on dissemination, preparedness, and warning response within the community as they relate to NWS services. It is intended to improve the quality, timeliness, and value of the NWS products and services. Findings and recommendations from this assessment are aimed to improve techniques, products, services, and information provided to our partners and the American public.
