Local Meaning Framework

 

LOCAL MEANING FRAMEWORK

A Shared Reference for Overlapping Hazards


WHO THIS IS FOR:

  • Jurisdictions facing recurring multi-hazard conditions

  • Agencies with frequent staff turnover

  • Regions where interpretation problems repeat every season


ESPECIALLY USEFUL WHEN:

  • Multiple agencies issued conflicting guidance

  • Staff felt uncertain about “what we knew when”

  • Leadership wants learning without reopening fault


WHAT YOU GET:

  • A locally specific interpretive reference document

  • Clear boundaries for which signals should - and should not - be combined

  • Identification of uncertainty and “no-answer-yet” zones

  • A briefing session for leadership or communications staff

This framework is reusable and durable.


PRICE:

$12,000 – $18,000, depending on region and hazard mix.

WHY YOU NEED THIS

When hazards overlap, interpretation often happens ad hoc. Over time, that leads to inconsistent messaging and internal confusion.


A LOCAL MEANING FRAMEWORK HELPS YOU:

  • Establish a shared baseline for interpretation

  • Reduce improvisation under pressure

  • Onboard new staff more effectively

  • Maintain coherence across events and seasons


These services focus on interpretive clarity and governance learning. They do not replace emergency management, legal review, or operational planning.

Final scope and cost are confirmed after a short introductory call to ensure the work is appropriate and non-operational.
