Subject:  Format of U.S. Hazards and Global Tropics Hazards
          Assessments effective Sep 12 2011

The U.S. Hazards Assessment and the Global Tropics Hazards and
Benefits Assessment names will be changed. The term "assessment"
will be replaced with "outlook."

The format of the U.S. Hazards Assessment will also change. The
new format will separate the product forecast period, covering
3-14 days into the future, into two forecast periods:

3-7 days into the future
8-14 days into the future

The four maps will be produced for each forecast period

Precipitation-related Hazards
Temperature/Wind-related Hazards
Drought/Wildfire-related Hazards
Composite of all Hazards.

The content of the maps will be similar to the ones produced now
for this product.
