Abstract
Jessica Losego has worked extensively with the North Carolina emergency management
(EM) community since starting as a meteorologist at the University of North Carolina seven
years ago. During this time, she developed and managed the NC-FIRST weather education
and information program for EMs in North Carolina. Since it began in 2007, over 1,000 users
in the EM community have been trained, and NC-FIRST is now a standard tool used across
the state. In addition to NC-FIRST, Jessica now
works on the collaborative Weather and Emergency
Management project funded by NOAA to learn
about the critical decisions and use of weather information
by the entire EM community, not just
county directors, to help NWS improve decision
support. Jessica earned a B.S. in Meteorology from
Penn State and a M.S. in meteorology from the University
of Oklahoma. She also has received a graduate
certificate from UNC in Disaster Management
and Community Preparedness.
