Communication and presentation of the forecasts and warnings to the users, including the NMS partners such as the disaster management organizations and the public as end users. The communication will cover both technical aspects such as communication of uncertainty in forecasts and also the human communication aspects as in the case of ensuring proper actions to be taken by those who receive the forecasts and warnings. A summary will also be presented of the findings and recommendations from the country surveys of the Pacific Island Countries under the PTWS. - 9.1 - Interaction with Disaster Management Agencies in the context of ATWS
