The committee felt that in engaging with the user community to improve weather warning services and presenting a case of a specific, and dangerous, yet not well-known, societal weather hazard in a clear and visually appealing way, this poster reflected the conference theme of ‘Connecting Communities to Deliver Seamless Weather and Climate Science and Services’ extremely well. Congratulations and over the coming years we look forward to hearing more about how communication weather hazards at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute evolves.
