We have taken your feedback into consideration and made some adjustments to the product that we would like to get your input on. The Weather Prediction Center is working on a prototype that will be finalized later this year so your feedback is crucial to its successful development. We will show features of the product on the next pages. Reflecting on your first experience with URRD in the previous focus group - is there anything you would like us to know before we dive in to the revised product? A proposal for the landing page for the URRD includes this map-based product that allows you to see the metro areas across the U.S. and the maximum 60 hr likelihood of urban flooding. Please rate the usefulness of this product to your decision-making.(Required) Extremely useful Somewhat useful Slightly useful Neither useful nor unuseful Not at all useful Which elements of this map (including use of color, labels and other features) do you find helpful? Please provide specifics if possible.Which elements of this map (including use of color, labels and other features) do you find confusing? Please provide specifics if possible. When you click on your city on the landing page main map, this city-specific URRD dashboard would appear. You can change among the cities/metro areas through the dropdown on the left illustrated below.Please take a minute to carefully review the dashboard and the overall look and information provided. Note that there will be a link to the product description at the top for those looking for specific input/technical information.

Later in the survey we will ask about specific components.(Required) Extremely useful Somewhat useful Slightly useful Neither useful nor unuseful Not at all useful Is there anything confusing about the dashboard? Please describe. In the upper right you can select between showing Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) information or Precipitation in inches per hour. A table relating the ARI and precipitation can be expanded in the middle left (see next two maps below which illustrate what the table would look like if you select ARI or Precip).Please rate the usefulness of this functionality (ability to toggle between ARI and Precipitation) to your decision-making.(Required) Extremely useful Somewhat useful Slightly useful Neither useful nor unuseful Not at all useful Which unit is most useful to your decision-making?(Required) Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) Precipitation inches/hour Both Neither Other What else would you like us to know about ARI and precipitation as shown in this product as it relates to your decision-making?
