The NOAA CPO Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program hosted a webinar on the topic of The North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) Seasonal Prediction System: Research, Operations, and Applications on Thursday, June 2, 2016. The announcement is provided below.
On May 26, 2016 at 2pm EDT, the National Security Council and the Office of Science and Technology Policy held a webinar focused on building community preparedness to extreme heat – which populations are most vulnerable, and what information, tools, and other resources are available to manage heat risk – many of which will be featured on the interagency National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) upon its launch on May 22nd.
