The objective of this Post Storm Survey (PSS) is to gain insight into decision-making related to hazardous winter weather. This information will be vital for the weather forecasting community in learning to better communicate the threat of hazardous weather. This research is one of the critical tools in bridging the gap between the weather community and users.

The Post Storm Survey’s History

The Post Storm Survey was created in 2007 by Matt Taraldsen, a meteorology student at St. Cloud State University, under the guidance of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences professor Dr. Anthony Hansen, Communication Studies Professor Suzanne Stangl-Erkens and meteorologists from the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Duluth, Minnesota. This survey and its results do not constitute an endorsement by the NWS of any information, products or services within this project.

Over the past 5 years the Post Storm Survey has spread to over a dozen states, been active following two dozen winter storms and collected over 8500 responses.
