Weaver

• J. Weaver is serving as the NOAA representative on the Project Impact steering committee.  Project Impact is a FEMA funded effort which provides "seed money" to one city in each state to develop innovative ideas for disaster mitigation.  Weaver's thrust is aimed at getting FEMA to think of weather forecast information as a potential mitigation tool.

• J. Weaver gave a two-hour lecture at the Colorado Springs campus of the University of Colorado the  week of October 12.  The talk was entitled "Recognition of Disaster as a Component of Response," and was presented to a class called "Disasters and Society."  The general public was also invited, and several people from the response community attended.

• J. Weaver gave a presentation titled "How the Weather Service knows it's going to flood, and what the public should do when they hear about it." to a local Kiwanis group.  There were about 30 attendees.
