Unfortunately, many times this also applies to other parts of society as well. If your priority is schedule (be it an airplane or concert) this affects your decision making. Only when you cannot ignore it anymore will the situation be addressed, much like microbursts were ignored by the aviation industry.<br /><br />This change will require the implementation of policies and procedures to handle these incidents. Resource requirements defined to make sure the correct information is available, and performance requirements within contracts to make sure that the correct priorities are set and followed. Not an easy task, but one that should be started now by everyone responsible for these types of activities.Richard Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965215084022057128.post-4526036095661005712011-08-19T13:20:16.610-05:002011-08-19T13:20:16.610-05:00It appears that this is a worthwhile discussion to...It appears that this is a worthwhile discussion to have. I was at a baseball game in Wichita Wed night when a storm approached from the SW. The heaviest part of the storm went to the south of town and really it pretty much fell apart before it got to us. But we were under a severe thunderstorm warning for at least a little while. To my knowledge no announcement was made of that fact. I don't know what, if any, resources were being used to make decisions by the ball park staff. I have some training as a weather spotter and based on what I saw both in the sky and on my smart phone radar, I wasn't too concerned. But, given all of these other events that have happened recently, it did make me wonder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
