Our paper ends with big questions for the field such as: - How do audiences define credibility and trust online? - What kinds of digital content actually motivate action during hazards? - How can universities train meteorologists for a world where anyone can “forecast”? ❄️📲

With #tsunami warnings issued for parts of #California and #Oregon, it is important the multilingual public receives lifesaving info. Our collaborators at the NWS Automated Translation program have developed graphics in English, Spanish, Chinese, & Vietnamese. Share widely!
