Trimming the Area of an Active Winter Hazard - Hazard Services

Purpose:

Tasks:

Setup

1. In the GFE Perspective, ensure the Forecast Zones (optional XXX) map is loaded.
2. Have SnowAmt, Wind, WindGust, etc. grids loaded with canned data, if possible.
3. Launch Hazard Services with the WSW Settings file.
4. In the Grid Manager, select a time range for the Advisory.
5. Issue a hazard with multiple zones

Remove zones from a hazard (e.g. Winter Weather Advisory)

Tip #1:  For a hazard event, if any zone in the hazard will remain in effect for the same Hazard Type, do not end the hazard. Instead, select the hazard, right-click on the zones to be removed, then select by Maps to create a new hazard event for these zones.

Tip #2: To help make the GFE and Hazard Services hazards easier to distinguish when overlaid, change the Alpha channel of the GFE Hazards grid.

1. Select the Winter Weather Advisory from the console (it will be highlighted blue)
   
   
    
2. Right-click on each zone that you wish to remove from the advisory
   
                    
          
3. Click Propose
   1. Verify the GFE Hazards grid has the correct final area
      
       
4. Select any additional CTAs and Impacts in the HID
5. Click Preview.
   1. Verify there is a CAN segment for the removed zones and a CON segment for the original zones.
                       
                      
   2. Verify output is in keeping with GFE SnowAmt, etc., grids
      1. Replace framing text if no GFE weather elements were populated
   3. Click Issue All → Issue.
