[SARC] The new NWS Storm - based Warning System

[John Brown]

On October 1, 2007, NOAA's National Weather
Service began issuing more geographically specific
warnings for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, floods,
and marine hazards.

Storm-based warnings provide more specific
information about the location of severe weather and the
direction it is expected to move. This reduces the
likelihood of needlessly alarming those outside the threat,
which builds confidence in the warnings and increases the
likelihood that people will take appropriate action.
