List of lead prompt questions to instigate discussion as required:
Past event experiences
- What information triggers a response or planned response?
- What timings are important?
- What other information sources you access for the different hazards?
- What actions might you take?
Impact data
- What could impact data be used for?
- Is impact data important to you?
- Focus on collectors of impact data
- Focus on users of impact data
Forward look on future requirements for DHA
‘What do we want?’ ‘Where do we want to get to?’ ‘What are the gaps?’
- Is the information currently being communicated helpful?
- How could information be communicated to further prepare you to deal with an event?
- How could the DHA fit better into your strategies to deal with the impacts of natural hazards as part of your daily role/job?
- What information could further assist you in making more informed decisions in response to natural hazard warnings?
- What would you prefer? — hazard information requiring you to use your knowledge and judgement as to impacts or more information and with an objective assessment of the potential impacts i.e. Hazard Impact Model outputs.
User questions?
- ‘Go big go yellow’ vs ‘too many yellows’ what is the difference for you?
- What is your reliance on the DHA? Does it compliment other warnings or is it your initial contact for warning?
- In your area of work do you take note of other warnings than your own or are you specifically looking at one hazard?
- How are you currently receiving information; what is the future Web, mobile, text, paper … App?
