Description:
The NWSChat is an Experimental Instant Messaging program which allows NWS operational personnel to share critical warning decision expertise and other types of significant weather information essential to the NWS' mission of saving lives and property.

NWSChat also provides media and emergency response partners with the ability to communicate significant event reports back to NWS operational personnel, who in turn utilize the information to make effective warning decisions. NWSChat has been developed with Terms of Use and other IT security requirements in place for government use. The system will be evaluated for utility, workload impact, policy and terms of use.
