Types of events
x A WARNING is an event that alone poses a significant threat to public safety and/or
property, probability of occurrence and location is high, and the onset time is relatively
short.
x A WATCH meets the classification of a warning, but either the onset time, probability of
occurrance, or location is uncertain.
x An EMERGENCY is an event that, by itself, would not kill or injure or do property
damage, but indirectly may cause other things to happen that result in a hazard. For
example, a major power or telephone loss in a large city alone is not a direct hazard,
but disruption to other critical services could create a variety of conditions that could
directly threaten public safety.
x A STATEMENT is a message containing follow up information to a warning, watch, or
emergency.
