Published: April 2, 2019, 4:46 a.m.

Tonight's WeatherBrains is a special show regarding the NWS's Hazard Simplification Program or "Haz Simp".  This program has been around for a couple of years and is designed to potentially redesign and reinvigorate the National Weather Service Watch/Warning/Advisory system.  Our Guest WeatherBrain this week is a Social Science Researcher and Project Manager for Haz Simp along with Eli Jacks of the NWS.  Her background is in meteorology, but her PhD program is interdisciplinary with a focus on sociology of disasters and risk communication.  Danielle Nagele, welcome to WeatherBrains!  Guest Panelist this week is soon-to-be graduating meteorology student from the University of Oklahoma.  Jordan Overton, welcome to the show!
