Subject: Extending Comment Period for Experimental National
Hurricane Center Videocasts Through November 30, 2013
Effective July 2 and continuing through November 30, 2013, NWS is
seeking user feedback on experimental videocasts from the
National Hurricane Center (NHC).
In an effort to provide users with additional information to
enhance planning and preparedness decisions, NHC will provide
experimental videocasts when the media pool is activated by the
NHC Public Affairs Officer. In general, the media pool is
activated by NHC when a hurricane watch is initiated for a
portion of the United States coastline. The experimental
videocasts will summarize the NHC media advisories. Because the
services are experimental, they may not be available in a timely
manner and they may not be available for every media event.
NHC has entered into an agreement with Weather Decision
Technologies (WDT), Inc. to provide internet protocol-based audio
and video streaming of its hourly hurricane briefings. The
relationship with WDT, Inc., is intended to provide distant media
outlets and the general public with access to these briefings.
The video briefings are available to anyone with internet access
and a web browser supporting mp4 format audio and video at: http://www.imaphurricane.info/ Feedback concerning this experimental service is welcomed at: http://www.weather.gov/survey/nws-survey.php?code=nhcvid If you have comments or questions, please contact: Dennis Feltgen, Public Affairs Officer National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 33165-2149 Email: Dennis.Feltgen@xxxxxxxx Phone: 305-229-4404 National Public Information Statements are online at: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/notif.htm $$
