Our objective was to assess National Weather Service (NWS) tornado forecasting and warning performance and identify potential opportunities for enhanced effectiveness. We contracted with the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), an independent firm, to perform this evaluation. Our office oversaw the evaluation’s progress to ensure that IDA performed it in accordance with the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency’s Quality Standards for Inspection and Evaluation (December 2020) and contract terms.
Since fiscal year 2011, the NWS has achieved its Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) performance goal for false alarm ratio in 9 of the last 12 years. However, the NWS has consistently fallen short of meeting performance goals for probability of detection and warning lead times for this same time period. In addition to the NWS’s limited effectiveness in forecasting and warning performance, NOAA lacks official outcome metrics to assess progress toward the Tornado Warning Improvement and Extension Program's goal of reducing the loss of life and economic losses from tornadoes, leaving this goal unmet without further improvements.
As part of its 10-year strategic Delivering for America plan, the U.S. Postal Service is redesigning its processing network and plans to invest $40 billion to create a modernized network based around regional processing and distribution centers (RPDC). The Atlanta RPDC is a one million square foot facility that opened in February 2024, consolidating operations from multiple facilities in the Atlanta region. The Postal Service approved an over $254 million investment to build out and set up the Atlanta RPDC and expects net savings of $2.6 billion over 30 years from consolidating regional operations. Efficient and effective RPDCs are critical to the success of the Postal Service’s Delivering for America plan and its goal of being financially self-sustaining.
