The National Safety Council is no longer publishing TipSheet. TipSheet is
produced jointly by the Society of Environmental Journalists, and the Radio
and Television News Directors Foundation. TipSheet is posted on SEJ's Web site
at http://www.sej.org/pub/index.htm
and on RTNDF's site at http://www.rtndf.org/resources/tipsheet/index.shtml
These weather backgrounders assess regional impacts of climate change, El Nino, La Nina, and more.
We've posted a series of guides on the Risk Management Program that will be useful to journalists, states, industry, LEPCs, and other who want to explain information submitted under the Clean Air Act Risk Management Program.
