Create a Hydro Team

The service assessment following the Colorado Front Range event suggested forming a team to ensure WFO forecasters have sufficient knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality hydrologic forecast and warning service.

If your office does not have a Hydrology Team, work with the management team to develop one.

Read Section 1 Introduction and Section 2 Staff Responsibilities of NWSI 10-921 Weather Forecast Office Hydrologic Operations and for an overview of the specific responsibilities for operational staff.
