@Bilder_CEM @MissAshes92 @WxComm @kimklockow @CommDocPA You can look at the studies on focusonfloods.org under the social science tab - our study about Sandy is there and called They Had the Facts, Why Didn’t They Act? And we have a published article on that paper as well

@MissAshes92 The Sandy NWS Service Assessment is the only published report that comes to mind that would touch on this specific issue. Google scholar or JSTOR would be good places to start. Also, I bet @WxComm @kimklockow @NNCEaston @CommDocPA might have some good leads.

Doing literature review work at lunch today - Does ANYONE have pubs that have assessed EM decision-making and their understanding of meteorological processes? Will also take: -Disasters where misunderstandings led to bad decisions -Areas of WX hindering EMs

These are properties that are contributing to the health of PA’s watersheds through practices such as rain gardens and other stormwater management strategies, cultivation of native vegetation, elimination of pollution sources, conservation of water (rain barrels), and more.

To date, there have been a total of 300 applications with 270 passing (a 90 percent pass rate) and 250 “Watershed Friendly Property” signs have been mailed throughout the state representing 49 total counties (almost three-fourths of the state represented).

The goal is educating residents, communities, educational institutions, and businesses about the value of a healthy watershed and best practices for improving water quality. Over 600 Pennsylvania residents were reached through the project’s outreach and presentations.

Nurture Nature Center and the Penn State Extension Master Watershed Steward program developed a Watershed Friendly Properties education and certification program to expand the number of watershed-friendly properties throughout PA.

One of the winners for 2022 is Nurture Nature Center for Watershed-Friendly Properties. @NNCEaston

The Governor’s Awards for Environmental Excellence is open to any PA business, farm, govt. agency, educational institution, non-profit, and individual that has participated in the development of a project that promotes environmental stewardship and economic development in PA.
