Warning Decision Making Workshop Support Page

The WDM Workshop Support Page provides presenations and other support materials from the four "versions" of the WDTB WDM workshops. These workshops, which took place between 1998 and 2003, were train-the-trainer workshops that focused on the science, technology, and societal impacts of making warning decisions for severe weather and flash floods.

The materials provided on this page will be broken up according to the "version" of the workshop (i.e., WDM I, WDM II, etc.) at which they were presented. The presentations are provided as HTML web presentations unless otherwise noted (usually Microsoft PowerPoint or Corel Presentations). You can left-mouse click on the links to open the presenation, or save the presentation to your computer by right-mouse click on the link and choose "Save Target As..." or "Save Link As...".
