SUBJECT: Seeking Comments on Revised Service Description (SDD)
Document for Proposed Enhanced Impact-Based Decision
Support Services for the Emergency Management
Community
NWS is soliciting comments by August 31, 2014, on an SDD
describing proposed enhanced impact-based decision support
services (IDSS) for the emergency management community and other
government core partners. These services support events and
incidents impacting the safety of life and property.
This SDD is a revision of an earlier version of the document
available for comment between May 24 and September 23, 2013. The
document was revised based on comments received and on
stakeholder interactions early in 2014. An analysis of comments
received is available at:
http://weather.gov/sp/SDD_IDSS_Version_1_Comment_Response.pdf
To address NWS enhancements to IDSS, NWS will be providing a
series of Service Description Documents describing to whom we
plan to provide our services and what types of decisions we plan
to support. The SDD addressed in this notice concerns IDSS for
the emergency management community and other government core
partners.
In response to comments, this SDD revision more accurately
describes the role of NWS support within the context of the
overall weather enterprise support. In addition, the scope of
support includes government partners who don't fall within the
EM community, such as the FAA, but whom NWS has traditionally
worked with to support such events and incidents impacting the
safety of life and property.
