Tropical Storm Allison : heavy rains and floods, Texas and Louisiana, June 2001

"Tropical Storm Allison was the most costly tropical storm in U.S. history. While the storm impacted a large part of the country, worst hit was southeast Texas and southern Louisiana. In these two areas alone, there were 24 fatalities and more than $5 billion in damage. Due to the magnitude of this flooding event, a service assessment team was dispatched to examine the warning and forecast services provided by the National Weather Service (NWS) to emergency managers, flood control/public works agencies, and the public in southeast Texas and southern Louisiana. Service assessments provide a valuable contribution to our ongoing efforts to improve the quality and timeliness of our products and services for the protection of life and property. Findings and recommendations from this assessment will help to improve techniques, products, and services"--Preface. "September 2001."

热带风暴阿利森（Tropical Storm Allison）是美国历史上经济损失最为惨重的热带风暴。尽管该风暴影响了美国大片区域，但受灾最严重的当属得克萨斯州东南部与路易斯安那州南部。仅上述两个地区，就造成24人遇难，经济损失逾50亿美元。鉴于此次洪涝灾害的影响规模，一支服务评估小组被派遣，对美国国家气象局（National Weather Service, NWS）向得克萨斯州东南部及路易斯安那州南部的应急管理人员、防洪/公共工程机构以及公众提供的预警与预报服务开展评估。服务评估工作可为我们持续提升各类产品与服务的质量与时效性、以保护生命财产安全的工作提供宝贵助力。本次评估得出的结论与建议，将有助于优化相关技术、产品与服务。——前言，2001年9月。本资料可通过美国国家气象局官网及美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）中央图书馆在线获取。2001年美国国家气象局（NWS）图书馆，公有领域，编号1931。
