National Hydrologic Warning Council
Advertising Policy, Procedures, and Rates
Purpose
The National Hydrologic Warning Council (NHWC) provides opportunities for companies, organizations, agencies, and individuals to advertise in the following media:
- The NHWC Transmission, a quarterly electronic newsletter, provides a venue for communication of NHWC activities to its membership, along with articles of interest for the hydrologic warning community. The NHWC Transmission newsletter is made available to over 2,000 hydrologic warning professionals, community representatives, and service providers quarterly during the year.
- The NHWC webpages (www.hydrologicwarning.org) provide information to members and non-members, including photo and publication archives, links to real-time hydrologic monitoring networks worldwide, and routine updates of news items of interest to the hydrologic warning community. The webpages have several thousand discrete visitors each month and have both a public and member level of access. The member level access is for persons with a high level of interest in hydrologic warning activities that has prompted them to pay an annual membership fee.
- The NHWC Conference Program, produced in print and/or electronic form, is created for each biennial conference and is distributed to each conference attendee and made available on the webpages. Attendee levels for the past several conferences ranged from 150 to 250 individuals.
- The NHWC Mailing List is available for one-time use.
Policy
It is the policy of the NHWC to make the above advertising opportunities available to the hydrologic warning community at set rates with discounts for current members of NHWC.
NHWC reserves the right to reject any advertising. The advertiser agrees to assume liability for all content of advertisements and assumes responsibility for any claims against NHWC. NHWC's liability for any error will not exceed the charge for the ad in question.
