    Connecting Forecast and Warning: A Partnership Between Communicators and Scientists
    (Springer Nature Switzerland AG on behalf of the Met Office, 2022-06-21) Anderson CL; Rovins J; Johnston DM; Lang W; Golding B; Mills B; Kaltenberger R; Chasco J; Pagano TC; Middleham R; Nairn J; Golding B
    In this chapter, we examine the ways that warning providers connect and collaborate with knowledge sources to produce effective warnings. We first look at the range of actors who produce warnings in the public and private sectors, the sources of information they draw on to comprehend the nature of the hazard, its impacts and the implications for those exposed and the process of drawing that information together to produce a warning. We consider the wide range of experts who connect hazard data with impact data to create tools for assessing the impacts of predicted hazards on people, buildings, infrastructure and business. Then we look at the diverse ways in which these tools need to take account of the way their outputs will feed into warnings and of the nature of partnerships that can facilitate this. The chapter includes examples of impact prediction in sport, health impacts of wildfires in Australia, a framework for impact prediction in New Zealand, and communication of impacts through social media in the UK.
